 Shuirim on Pesach
Rav Yechezkel Landau, a major eighteenth century authority, in his commentary to the Gemara known as the Tzlach (Pesachim 109a), writes that he carefully measured thumbs and eggs and discovered that the two do not yield equal measurements.
According to Rav Landau, the Kezayit for Matza and other Mitzvot should be regarded as the equivalent of an entire egg and not a half of an egg as had traditionally been assumed.
In short, Rav Landau ruled that we must eat twice as much Matza as we had been accustomed to consuming in the past in order to fulfill the Mitzva of eating Matza.

Rabbi Yechezkel Abramsky (in a responsum published in the introduction to the fourth volume of Rabbi Eliezer Waldenburg's, Tzitz Eliezer) and Rabbi Chaim Ozer Grodzinski (Achiezer III:33:5) try to reconcile these seemingly opposing views by maintaining that the Rambam believes that only "soft bones"5 are prohibited, while hard bones are permitted.
Rabbi Yechezkel Landau (Noda Biyehuda, Yoreh Deah 26) also indicates that the food does not regain its previous non-Kosher status when it is rehydrated.
Rabbi Yechezkel Abramsky, who permits gelatin produced from hard bones, nevertheless adds another reason to forbid consumption of gelatin even if it is produced from hard bones.

 Jewish Law - Articles ("Jewish Law and Copyright")
The case addressed by Rabbi Landau involved a scholar who authorized a Talmudic commentary and paid the publisher the stipulated amount for printing his work (upon the margin of the page of Talmud).
Rabbi Landau ruled that in cases where the author paid for the typesetting, the author retains rights to any reprintings made from those selfsame characters.
Although the actual ruling of Rabbi Landau applies to the reprinting of the Talmud, a work in the public domain, the ruling would certainly apply to an original work of scholarship.

R' Yechezkel Landau z"l (the Noda B'Yehuda; died 1793) asks: Why was Tosfot bothered by the fact that Rabbi Yehuda did not fulfill the mitzvah of Aliyah La'reggel, but seemingly not bothered by the fact that Rabbi Yehuda did not fulfill the mitzvah of Korban Pesach?
R' Landau answers: Unlike the mitzvah of Aliyah La'reggel, the mitzvah of Korban Pesach does not impose an obligation to travel to Yerushalayim.
Indeed, since the mitzvah to bring a Korban Pesach does not begin until the fourteenth, there cannot exist an obligation to travel to Yerushalayim before the fourteenth in order to be in a position to perform the mitzvah.

Rav Yechezkel Landau zt'l in his responsa Nodah B'Yehudah has difficulty with the position of Rabbeinu Peretz for two reasons.
Thus, Rav Landau concludes that there is no correlation between officiating as Sandak and participating in the incense offering.
The fact that the Rav of the community repeatedly officiates as Sandak does not refute the position of Rabbeinu Peretz- because the Rav of the community is the equivalent of the High Priest (Kohen Gadol).
