Dear Geni Researchers and Community,

I'm looking for the book "Mateh Moshe" written by R. Moses Katz, son of R. Isaiah Katz of Brody, published in Zolkiew in 1743.

1) Can someone link online access or provide suggestions to finding this title online?

A) For Rabbi Yitzhak HaCohen Katz, II [of Stopin and Lublin] writing: "G7.6. R. Isaac Katz, Darshan (preacher) of Prague and later ABD of Stepan in Volhynia. He also was elected Darshan of Lublin and married Edel, daughter of R. Menachem Mendel, son of Joel Margolis-Schotengen." [Unbroken Chain", by Dr. Neil Rosenstein Vol II, page 541]

B) For Rabbi Yitzhak haKohen Katz, [Maharal s.in law] writing: "Wife of R. Isaac HaKohen Katz, married successively two daughters of R. Lowe: 1) Leah who died without issue and then 2) Feigele by whom he had two sons - Haim and Naftali." [The Unbroken Chain, Third Edition, Vol II. p 541]

2) For Rabbi Yitzhak HaCohen Katz, II [of Stopin and Lublin] Dr. Neil Rosenstein wrote: "The original genealogical source was "Perlis, Megilat Yochasin le MaHaRal Prague found in Mateh Moshe (published in 1747)"

Any links or titles to this second (possibly different) source would be much appreciated. Thank you for reading and joining this discussion.

Update. The "Mateh Moshe" itself was written by R. Moses Katz, son of R. Isaiah Katz of Brody, and was published in Zolkiew in 1743: https://www.nli.org.il/en/books/NNL_ALEPH990013008830205171/NLI?vol... — See also here: https://tablet.otzar.org/#/book/149991/p/1/t/827980/fs/0/start/0/en...

Thanks to the kind help of the Library of the Jewish Theological Seminary – University of Jewish Studies, Hungary (JTS–UJSH) for helping me locate it.

However, these online versions are "without genealogy pages", which is the book's integral part, and I'm not yet aware of any other publication for these particular pages of genealogy independent of this book.

The work "Rabbi Moses Meir Perlis, Megilat Yochasin le MaHaRal Prague" is cited as a genealogical source concerning the Maharal of Prague and many prominent names, some linked in my previous message.

Can anyone share recommendations for accessing "Megilat Yochasin le MaHaRal Prague"?

I've found this Joseph Kwadrat study from 2015, published by Avotaynu, very interesting https://www.academia.edu/15278377/A_Treasure_Unveiled

" To guide the reader through the operation of organizing the family tree correctly, I completely retyped the original family tree found in the Mateh Moshe in PDF format with the same layout as the original. It may be downloaded free of charge at www.avotaynu.com/Kwadrat.pdf "
