Avnei Yehoshua “Torah novellae with in-depth study and logic on various halachahs” (laws relating to kosher food: מליחה, נותן טעם בר נותן טעם, ביטול בששים וסימנים) by Rabbi Yehoshua bar Yosef [Schwartzberg] of Plotzk. Important approbations. Dozens of handwritten scholarly glosses, most quite lengthy. It is clear from the content of the glosses that the writer is a Talmudic scholar of note, apparently also an adjudicator. He is not deterred from ruling on the words of the greatest adjudicators, for example: “yet the essence of the Kreiti U’Pleiti’s words is puzzling to me.” There are additional glosses in a different script.
