SCHWARTZ, YOSEF HAKOHEN.
(Rabbi in Bonyhád and Grosswardein, 1875-1944). Eit Sefod [“A Time To Eulogize.”] Shlomo HaKohen Klein. pp. 74. Paks, 1898.
Personal copy of Rabbi Yosef HaKohen Schwartz, with his extensive autograph notes.
With previous owner’s marks, including the bibliographer Naphtali Ben-Menachem. Modern boards. 8vo.
This copy is heavily annotated by R. Yosef HaKohen Schwartz. These notes range from a few words giving an addition, a reference, or lengthy supplements within various sections. Also contained are several manuscript sections that were the contents of eulogies which Rabbi Schwartz himself must have delivered. R. Yosef HaKohen Schwartz was a son of R. Naftali Schwartz, Rabbi of Mad and son-in-law of R. Eliezer Deutsch, Rabbi of Bonyhad. He authored a large number of halachic works as well as edited his father-in-law’s writings for publication. He was also editor of the rabbinical journal ‘Vayelaket Yosef.’ Et Sefod is a rabbi’s guidebook for eulogies. The author, R. Shlomo HaKohen Klein (1833-1902) was a disciple of the Kesav Sofer.
