The following is from Rav Yaakov Perlow's essay RSRH - The Gaon in Talmud
and Mikra.<br><br>
The Ksav Sofer met Rav Hirsch for the first time in 1848 and he later
wrote,<br><br>
"We talked in learning with the new Chief Rabbi [of Nikolsburg
-RSRH].<br>
He is <i>boki </i>in all of <i>shas and poskim</i>. We are lucky that he
thinks of us (presumably<br>
the Hungarian Rabbonim), as greater <i>lamdonim</i> than he. Would
he<br>
only know his own greatness he would give us no rest."<br><br>
I have posted the first part of Rav Perlow's essay at
