Large Pamphlet – Seven Leaves – In the Handwriting of the Chatam Sofer – Mattersburg (Mattersdorf), 1805
A complete large pamphlet written in the Chatam Sofer's own handwriting, novellae on the treatise "Ein Me'Abrin Nisan B'Nisan", written at the time the Chatam Sofer served in the Mattersburg rabbinate. Autographic writing with many erasures and corrections in his own handwriting, on large-format leaves [folio].
On page [9], the Chatam Sofer mentions his teacher Rabbi Pinchas HaLevi Horowitz, author of the Hafla'ah with Birkat Hachaim (which means that Rabbi Horowitz was still alive at the time he wrote the pamphlet). Rabbi Pinchas Horowitz died in the month of Tamuz that same year. On page [5], the Chatam Sofer mentions "that which my elder uncle Moshe Frankfurter found difficult in his commentary on the Mechilta…". [Rabbi Moshe Frankfurter was a Dayan in Amsterdam and wrote many books]. He also copies "that which I have written in my Torah novellae Parashat Bo…".
In the city of Mattersburg, the name of the Chatam Sofer began to spread as the leading Torah authority of his times and as a pillar of Torah and halacha rulings. In Mattersburg, he stood at the helm of a yeshiva for many disciples. There he began to write some of his novellae which spread throughout the world. Two year after these novellae were written, at the beginning of 1807, the Chatam Sofer moved to serve as Rabbi of Pressburg. There he moved his famous yeshiva and from there he influentially led his generation until his death in 1840.
These novellae were printed in Chiddushei Chatam Sofer on the Talmud, Jerusalem 1969, Siman 3 (Page 18 and on).
