Shulchan Aruch Choshen Mishpat – Prague, 1628 – Early Glosses

Shulchan Aruch, Choshen Mishpat, with the Me'irat Einayim commentary (Sma). Prague: Moshe son of Yosef Betzalel Katz, 1628. Second edition of the Sma.
Numerous glosses in Ashkenazic script in the margins, from close to the time of printing (ca. 17th century). The writer frequently cites "Mahari"s" [= R. Joel Sirkis, author of the Bach], sometimes adding to his words.
In folios 68-69, appear inscriptions in later handwriting (ca. 18th/19th century) beneath three of the glosses: "From the holy Maggid R. David of Stepan", "From the Maggid of Stepan", "From the Maggid of St[epan]". The significance of these inscriptions is unclear. The holy Maggid R. David of Stepan ("Der Stepiner Maggid"; d. 1811) was a disciple of the Baal Shem Tov and the Maggid of Mezeritch.
Ownership inscriptions: on leaf 4b: "Yehuda Leib Frenkel"[?], at the top of leaf 194a: "Yehuda Leib son of Yekutiel". On the last page: "So says Avraham son of R. Madil Segal" [possibly R. Avraham son of R. Madil Segal of Oettingen, author of "Ma'arechet Avraham" (Fürth, 1769), see: Assaf, Sources for the History of Jewish Education in Israel, new edition edited by Shmuel Glick, vol. I, Jerusalem and New York, 2001, p. 404).
