Tosfos discusses the penalty that Ezra established regarding the Levi’im and their ma’aser. In the middle of this discussion, Tosfos issues the following statement: We have ruled that Malachi is the same person as Ezra.
The Maharatz Chayus asks: How can Tosfos rule regarding this issue? The entire discussion of who Malachi was, is a historical fact, and the issue is one of Aggadata, and not halacha. It seems strange to issue a ruling on a historical fact.
