Paragraph 1

The copy of R. [Moses] Mordecai b. Jacob Banet (1772-1850), rabbi of Stomfa. He was born in Alt Ofen and educated by his uncle and namesake R. Mordecai Banet of Nicholsburg. After his marriage to the daughter of R. Gershon ha-Kohen Stern of Batrokez he accepted the rabbinate of Setchin. In 1813 he returned to Alt Ofen and assumed his father's position of Dayyan for two years. Thereafter he left for Stomfa where he served until his passing. The Ktav Sofer in his eulogy describes R. Banet as completing the Talmud every 3 to 4 years; a scholar who was plagued by illness and pain nevertheless studied and excelled. And by decent;

His son, R. Elijah Banet (c.1810-1895), inscribed on fly (v.1). He was born either in Alt Ofen (c.1800) or in Yarmat (Balassagyarmat; c.1810) and was apparently educated by his father as were his nine siblings. An erudite scholar he lived in Bidgekov (Bockkov Velikii)where he passed on. And by decent;

His son, R. Jacob Gershon Banet (1846-1924) rabbi of Stomfa, inscribed on title (v.2). He was born in Alt Ofen and educated in the yeshiva of the Ktav Sofer. He suffered much during his lifetime by loss of spouses, children, and other calamities. An erudite scholar he served in the rabbinate for many years.
