Lot 080:
Ohel Yaakov, first section (Bereishit)—droshim on the Torah and midrashim of chazal, by Rabbi Yaakov Krenitz, the Maggid of Dubna. Stefanski Yesod 492.
The Maggid of Dubna was known as one of the greatest maggids of his generation and since, and it is said that the Vilna Gaon would ask to hear his drashot and parables. He became famous during his lifetime throughout the Jewish world, to the point that some maggids would impersonate him and give drash in his name. One time he visited a synagogue in some city in which he listened to a drash given by someone claiming to be him.
Many signatures of ownership: “Zvi Plokser”, “Meir Tenenbaum”, stamps of “Ivli HaKohen ben Mahach Rappaport”, “David Leib Berez HaKohen.”
