Joseph Rosen (Yiddish: יוסף ראָזין, Yosef Rosin), known as the Rogatchover Gaon, (“Genius of Rogachev”), and also often referred to by the title of his main work Tzofnath Paneach (“Decipherer of Secrets”), (Rogachev, 1858 – Vienna, 5 March 1936), was a rabbi and one of the most prominent Talmudic scholars of the early 20th-century, known as a genius (gaon) because of his photographic memory and ability to connect sources from the Talmud to seemingly unrelated situations. He has been described as the foremost Talmudic genius of his time. via Wiki
