About Yehoshua Kosman

While following their father’s footsteps, Feivish’s three sons—Rudolf, Sámuel, and Yehoshu‘a parted ways dramatically. The youngest, Yehoshu‘a Kosman (1789–1831), studied at the yeshiva of the Ḥatam Sofer and became a private scholar in Győrsziget, maintaining a sizable yeshiva with 40 to 50 students. His novellae were published by Vilmos Bacher as Sefer naḥalat Yehoshu‘a, (1890) with a valuable introduction listing the books in his possession; that library reflected his interest in the Haskalah.
