Sefer Geon Zvi on tractate Bava Metzi’ah, by Rabbi Zvi Hirsch Av Beit Din of Risha – first edition, Warsaw, 1808. 

With the rare and single approbation by the holy Rav Rabbi Yaakov of Mogielnica, the Son of the Admor Rabbi Elimelech of Lizhensk, the author of the Noam Elimelech, who writes "וביודעו ומכירו קאמינא… הכ"ד המדבר לכבוד התורה ולומדיה הק’ יעקב בן מו’ אלימלך זלה"ה". An additional approbation by the Admor Rabbi Yaakov Yitzchak Horowitz, the Chozeh of Lublin, and many more approbations. 

On the leaves of the book, dozens of lengthy glosses in orderly script. The writer often disagrees with the author, writing for instance "במחילה מכבודו שלא דן בכוונת המהרש"א", indicating they were written by a Talmid Chacham of stature.

Handwritten self-dedication: "חנני אלקים בזה הספר שניתן לי במתנה מכבוד גיסי מוה"ר יעקב הק’ משה אליעזר בן מו"ה פנחס…". An addiitonal signature: "דוד יהודא ווייסאפפעל".
