UNIDENTIFIED SIGNATURE/GLOSSES.  Halachic responsa on all four parts of Shulchan Aruch by the renowned R. Chaim Halberstam of Tzanz, The Divrei Chaim.  R. Chaim Halberstam of Sanz “Divrei Chaim” (1797-1876), was the founder of the Sanz Chassidic dynasty. He was the son-in-law of R. Baruch Frankel-Thumim the “Boruch Ta’am” and was a talmid of R. Naftali Tzvi of Ropshitz and R. Tzvi Hirsch of Zidichoiv. He was renowned not only as one of the great Chassidic Tzadikim of his time, but also as a noted Halachic authority. His court attracted thousands of followers, among them many of the generation’s Rebbes and Talmidei Chachomim and he was one the most influential Rabbonim of his era. His descendants followed in his footsteps, combining Chassidic leadership with Halachic erudition, serving both as Chassidic Rebbes and as Rabbonim in Galicia, Poland, Hungary and Romania. The Sanz dynasty is continued today through the Chassidic courts of Bobov, Klausenberg, Stropkov, Zhmigrod, Gorlitz, and others. Unidentified signature and glosses.  Stefansky Sifrei Chassidus 118.
