A Manuscript of Commentaries on the Torah and Legends of the Sages by Rabbi Shmuel Rosenberg, Av Beit Din of Unsdorf
Commentaries on the Torah portions, prayers and legends of the Sages by Rabbi Shmuel Rosenberg Av Beit Din of Unsdorf. 
 108 large paper leaves. 29*22cm. The novaelle are written in a mixture of the handwriting of Rabbi Shmuel Rosenberg and of several of his primary students for their Rabbi, this ledger was constantly with him, as we can see from the many signatures of dozens of students who wrote their names and their mothers' names in order be to remembered and blessed by their Rabbi - whom they considered to be a very holy man - when he studied the Torah novaelle. 
In the signature of one of the students at the end of the book he mentions that he learns here in Unsdorf in the Yeshiva of the Rebbe in the year 1912. No comparison has been made between the material in the manuscript and the material printed in the book Be'er Shmuel on the Torah (Kleinwardein 1938 Jerusalem 1973).
Rabbi Shmuel Rosenberg the Rabbi of Unsdorf for thirty five years was one of the great Torah teachers of Hungary and one of the leaders of Chareidi Jewry, one of the important students of the Ktav Sofer, a tremendous genius, a holy righteous man. Born in 1842 and died 1919.
