Chasdei Avot, novellae on Tractate Avot by R. Chaim Yosef David Azulai – the Chida. [Lviv: S. Winiarz, 1856]. Title page indicates Livorno.
Distinguished copy belonging to Chernobyl rebbes – on title page, ownership inscription: "R. Zusha son of the Rabbi".
Inscriptions of this kind are reputed to derive from books by Rebbe Aharon of Chernobyl and his son Rebbe Zusha of Chernobyl, as Rebbe Aharon's books were divided between his descendants upon his passing, and each was inscribed with the name of the heir to receive it.
Rebbe Aharon Twersky of Chernobyl (1787-1872), senior rebbe of his generation, son of R. Mordechai of Chernobyl and disciple of his grandfather R. Nachum of Chernobyl, whom he succeeded upon his passing. His son, R. Yeshayah Meshulam Zusha Twersky (d. 1881), was the grandfather of Rebbe Aharon Rokeach of Belz (1880-1957).
