"Em l'Mikrah." Manuscript of Rabbi Shmuel Aharon Rubin, av"d Krotoschin, disciple and mechutan of Rabbi Chaim of Sanz
Comprehensive work on all the "kri u'ktiv" in the Tanach, in the hand of the author Rabbi Shmuel Aharon Rubin, av"d Krotoschin. 
[66] pages. 20x25 cm. The author begins by attacking the Radak's opinion in his introduction to the Book of Joshua that the "kri u'ktiv" were generated when the scribes copied the works. The point of his work is to clarify and explain the reasons behind the kri u'ktiv and to show that they have holy sources and are not mistakes. 
The work was first printed in Bilgoray in 1939, but no copies survive. It was reprinted from the manuscript in Bnei Brak in 1974.
Rabbi Shmuel Aharon Rubin was the son of Rabbi Zvi Hirsch Elazar of Krakow. He was a genius in both the revealed and hidden Torah and authored Beit Aharon on Gittin and other prominent works. He was a chassid of the Divrei Chaim and edited his responsa (as he wrote in his work Shem Olam, section two, siman 170). Rabbi Chaim of Sanz wrote that he is "perfect in Torah and yirah, " and showed his appreciation for him in his approbation to his Beit Aharon.Rabbi Shmuel Aharon was also the mechuten of his Rebbe: his son Rabbi Naftali was the son-in-law of Rabbi Yechezkel of Shinova. He served in the rabbinate in Zabrov and Krotoschin although he was offered better positions, like in Munkatch or Reisha. He passed away in 1877. Refer to his biography at the beginning of his commentary on Sefer Yeraim - Yirah v'Ahavah (Jerusalem, 1985).
