Large bundle of various leaves folded and arranged as something of an unbound notepad. Sections of notepads, folded leaves, government documents and letters that were sent to him, which he used to write on their reverse sides. It appears that every paper that was in his possession was utilized for writing Torah novellae. One of the leaves is a complete letter written by his son Rabbi Moshe Landsberg, Ra’ava”d of Poznań.
Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Posner-Landsberg [d. 1863] was a tremendous Torah scholar of rich lineage. Rabbi Shlomo Zalman was an extremely prolific author. In addition to the many volumes left of his Torah novellae, he would transcribe with ‘supreme grace’ the books by his father and his father’s fathers. Of all the works he left behind, only one was printed, Toar Pnei Shlomo (Krotoschin, 1870). Rabbi Shlomo Zalman studied under his great father Rabbi Yosef, Rabbi Aryeh Leib Tzintz, and Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Lipschutz, author of Chemdat Shlomo . The sanctity of his family is discussed in his work in manuscript: My dear departed mother was from the Calipari family, daughter of my exalted and pure grandfather, Rabbi Itzik ztz”l, who was the son of Rabbi Ya’akov ztz”l, Av Beit Din of Moisling; son of the awesome and renowned Rabbi Aryeh Leibush. She would conduct herself with purity, cautious that all her movements be in accordance with the Law. From childhood, she would stay awake to listen to the studies of her righteous father, brothers, and brothers-in-law. And after joining together with the husband of her youth, my pure and holy father, ztz”l, who studied most of the night, she ran her home with practiced caution in all the minutiae, and accepted the piety of her husband and his asceticism …”
Rabbi Shlomo Zalman’s father was Rabbi Yosef Landsberg, who served as leader and dayan in Poznań (son of Rabbi Eliyahu, Av Beit Din of Landsberg, son of Rabbi Aryeh Leib, sermonizer of Poznań, son of the author of Yesod Yosef ). Rabbi Yosef Landberg was the one who recommended the city’s rabbinate to his relative, Rabbi Akiva Eiger, after the passing of the city’s rabbi, the author of Beit Shmuel HaAcharon , in 1807. He devoted himself to this appointment.
