Responsa "Levushei Mordechai", second edition, on Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim, by Rabbi Mordechai Leib Winkler. Budapest 5682 (1922).
Stamped seal: "Yochanan son of Maharam Sofer of blessed memory, rabbinical judge of the holy community of Erloi" – the present Rebbe of Erloi. On the title-page is written: "[has been] proofread"
Three comments appear throughout the book in the handwriting of Rabbi Shimon Sofer, head of Rabbinical Court in Erloi.
Attached is a confirmation by an expert that the comments are indeed those of Rabbi Shimon Sofer.

One of the foremost rabbis of his generation and of the noted descendants of the 'Chatam Sofer'. Author of the Responsa 'Hitorerut Tshuva'. Perished in the Holocaust in 5704 (1944). His son is the elderly Rebbe of Erloi, Rabbi Yochanan Sofer.
Excellent condition.
