Lengthy letter handwritten and signed by Rabbi Pinchas Sakotch, Av Beit Din of Griegshaber [Kriegshaber] and Augsberg to the leaders of the Binzwangen community.
The gaon Rabbi Pinchas Sakotch [d. 1819] received Torah from his father Rabbi David, who was the dayan of Griegshaber. He apparently studied at yeshivahs in Germany – possibly that of Furth. He was appointed rabbi of Griegshaber in 1780 and corresponded extensively with the gaon Rabbi Meshulam Zalman HaKohen, Av Beit Din of Furth, in his responsa Bigdei Kehunah [refer to simanim 9, 87, 90, 92, 94 and more].
