Megale Amukot, Furth 1691 - Various Signatures and Self-Dedication of Rabbi Meshulam [Son of the Chacham Zvi?] Who Received the Book from the Author of Panim Me'irot
Megale Amukot, 252 Kabbalistic explanations of the VaEtchanan prayer. By Rabbi Natan Neta Shapira Av Beit Din of Krakow who introduced Kabbalistic study to Ashkenazi countries. Fürth, 1691. Second edition.
Self-dedication on title page of the groom who received the book from Rabbi Meir Eisenstadt, author of Panim Me'irot (1670-1744): "Given to me as a gift from my teacher author of the Panim Me'irot responsa Av Beit Din of Eisensta[dt] - Meshulam son of R' Zvi". Additional signatures and ownership inscriptions of "Shmuel called Hilman Segal". On the back leaf is a penciled signature: "Aharon Katz from ---".
Possibly, Rabbi "Meshulam son of R' Zvi" who signed this book is Rabbi Meshulam Ashkenazi, son of the Chacham Zvi, whose sister wed Rabbi Yitzchak son of the Panim Me'irot and therefore he received this gift upon his marriage from their mechutan Rabbi Meir Eisenstadt, author of Panim Me'irot.
Rabbi Avraham Meshulam Zalman Ashkenazi, youngest son of the Chacham Zvi was yet a child when his father died in 1718. His elder brother Rabbi Ya'akov Emden married him off to the daughter of Rabbi Yuzpa of Ostroh. In 1737, Rabbi Meshulam was appointed rabbi of the "kloiz" and head of the Ostroh Yeshiva and eventually became Av Beit Din of Ostroh and its region [which included 282 towns and villages to which he often travelled to supervise their religious affairs]. He died in 1777 and some of his Torah novellae were printed in the book Divrei Rav Meshulam (Korets, 1783).
Rabbi Shmuel Hilman Segal HaLevi was born in 1799 to Rabbi Moshe Segal Gloga. He served as dayan in Stadtschlaining and in Čakovec (Csáktornya).
