Shut Maharosh, Q&A, tshuvot, and halachic chiddushim by Rabbi Alexander Shmuel Halperin, a student of Rabbi Meir of Przmysl and Ra’avad of Lviv. First edition, Lemberg 1896.

Rabbi Alexander Shmuel Halperin (1828-1905) studied under Rabbi Meir of Przmysl and revered him, and he travelled once to the Rahak Rabbi Yisrael of Ruzhin. He refused the rabbainate of Yaroslav and Iasi because of the instruction given by his rabbi, Rabbi Meir of Przmyslan, who told him to wait for a position in a bigger city—in the end he was accepted as Ra’avad of Lviv.
