Description		    Zeev Wolf b. David ha-Kohen Bochner(1750–1820), Hebrew grammarian and liturgical poet. Buchner, who was born and lived most of his life in Brody, was the secretary of the Jewish community and one of the forerunners of the Haskalah movement. He wrote several epistolary guides in poetic language, e.g., Zeved ha-Melizah (1774); Zeved Tov (1794); and Zahut ha-Melizah (1810), all of them dealing with Hebrew style. The last work also contained 120 samples of letters. These works went through several editions. He also wrote religious poems such as Keter Malkhut ("Royal Crown," 1794), in the style of Ibn Gabirol's hymn by the same name; Shir Nifla ("Wonderful Song," 1802); Shir Yedidut ("Song of Friendship," 1810); and Shirei Tehillah ("Songs of Praise," 18083). The last work consists of two parts. In the first, the roots of all the words have only letters from alef to lamed, while the second part contains words composed of letters from lamed to tav only.
          
Paragraph 2    לה' דבר יום ביומו, ויספר המקראות שהי' בשי"ב [ששת ימי בראשית] ויתחיל באות שלו, יום יתחיל כ"ת [כל תיבה] באות א, יום ב באות ב, וכן כל ימי השבוע. ומדי חודש בחדשו יספר המאורעות באותיות שלהם. ניסן באות נו"ן: אייר באות א, וכן כלם ... מליצה מיוסדת על אדני דרשות חז"ל, הכינו ... מו' זאב וואלף בוכנר מק"ק בראד בן ... מו' דוד נ"י ...

עם שמות המסכימים שבאו בדפוס הראשון. גופי ההסכמות נשמטו. בשירים יש שינוים קלים וכן נשמט שירו של ר' משה קוניץ.
