On the flyleaf, an ownership stamp of the Gaon Rabbi Meir Shapira of Lublin, from the time he served as Av Beit Din of Piotrkow  - Rabbi Meir Shapiro of Lublin (1887–1933) was one of the foremost rabbis and educators of the pre-Holocaust generation. Born in Suczawa (Schotz), he was the son of Rabbi Yaakov Shimshon. A brilliant scholar from a young age, he served as Rav in Galina, Sanok, and ultimately in Lublin. In 1930, he founded the renowned Yeshivat Chachmei Lublin, a revolutionary Torah institution known for its rigorous study program, vast library, and its goal of producing outstanding Torah scholars. His most famous innovation—the Daf Yomi —was introduced at the Great Congress of Agudat Yisrael in 1923 and has since become a global tradition of daily Talmud study. He served as president of Agudat Yisrael in Poland and as its representative in the Polish Sejm, advocating for Jewish rights and supporting Torah institutions. Though he passed away at a young age, his impact on Torah learning and Jewish education remains profound and enduring. Like all Rabbi Meir's books, this copy too was part of the library of his famed yeshiva, Yeshivat Chachmei Lublin, as indicated by several stamps on the leaves.
