Karl Marx's Galicianischer roots in a page of haskamos.

Here's a page of haskamos to a book printed in Metz, 1777. Signers are the author of Sha'agas Aryeh and R. Moses Lvov (d. 1788), the grandfather of Karl Marx's mother.


You can read another such haskamah from Marx's urgroßvater Rabbi Moshe Lvov, av beis din of Trier, here.
