Kol HaRamaz was the primary work authored by the Ramaz on talmud whose other writings are mostly on matters of kabbalah.
The author of Machaneh Chaim in his sefer Kol Sofer on Mishnayos (Munkacs, 1881). He opens with the words “I was privileged to [learn] sefer Kol HaRamaz which is a very precious sefer by the genius…Rabbi Moshe Zacuto zt”l.”
The sefer contains several lengthy handwritten glosses by Rabbi Tzvi Hersh Berlin. The title page notes that the sefer belonged to “The wondrous Rabbi who is outstanding in all his attributes, of respected and glorious lineage, Moreinu Harav Tzvi Hersh ny”v, son-in-law of the Rabb’ Tevely z”l [of Galuga]”. This inscription was handwritten by Rabbi Yochanan ben Rabbi Yaakov, Av Beis Din of Graidetz and Raavad of Galuga (son of Rabbi Tzvi Hersh of Pintchov Hy”d). A second inscription dated 1869 reveals that the sefer was purchased by his grandson Rabbi Yitzchak Nosson Nutta Berliner, Av Beis Din of Bilgoraj. All comments are written in script identical to the handwriting of Rabbi Tzvi Hersh Berliner.
