Pitchei Yah - Important Copy Owned by Chernobyl Rebbes - Lviv, 1799
Pitchei Yah, commentary on Pirkei Avot, with the text, by R. Mordechai Rabbi of Shchyrets. Lviv: Yehudit Rosanes, [1799].
Ownership inscription at top of title page in early Ashkenazic script: "Rabbi Zusia B'Harav". Reputedly, this inscription attests that this book belonged to Rebbe Aharon of Chernobyl and his son Rebbe Zusha of Chernobyl (upon Rebbe Aharon's death in 1871 the books were distributed amongst his descendants and the name of the future heir was written on each book: "Zusia B'Harav", "Menachem Nachum B'Harav", etc...).
Another signature on title page: "Yechiel Michel son of Maha[ril]".
Rebbe Aharon Twersky of Chernobyl (1787-1871), eldest rebbe of his generation, son of R. Mordechai of Chernobyl and disciple of his grandfather R. Nachum of Chernobyl. After his death, he was succeeded by his son R. Yeshaya Meshulam Zusha (Zusia) Twersky (died 1881), maternal grandfather of Rebbe Aharon Rokeach of Belz (1880-1957).
