Nice signature on the title page of the Gaon Rabbi Binyamin Wolf Lev author of 'Shaarei Torah'.
The famous Torah scholar, Rabbi Binyamin Wolf Lev (1777-1851), author of 'Shaarei Torah', was the rabbi of Vrbové in Hungary and son of Rabbi Elazar Lev, author of 'Maase Roke'ach'. Famous Torah scholar, one of the prominent rabbis of the generation of the Chatam Sofer and Rabbi Akiva Eiger.
Many great Torah scholars were his disciples, including the 'Machaneh Chaim' and the 'Kol Aryeh'. He left behind compositions on all subjects of the Torah, which were printed in his famous series - 'Shaarei Torah'. His first work was published at the young age of 26, receiving enthusiastic approbations from the leading Torah scholars of his time, R. Akiva Eiger, the 'Chatam Sofer' and Maharam Banet. R. Baruch Frankel, author of 'Baruch Taam', praised him in his approbation as an expert in analyzing all Talmudic topics, early and more recent halachic works. The 'Ktav Sofer' eulogized him as a master in Talmud and Halachic works, who did not cease to delve in Torah day and night, and seldom had physical enjoyment.
