The Degel Machaneh Ephraim is one of the primary sources for the teachings of the author’s grandfather, the Baal Shem Tov - within whose home the author was raised. The printing of this work in Galicia reflects an increased demand for such mystical texts in areas beyond the Chassidic heartland of the Ukraine. See Y. Alfasi, Encyclopedia LeChassiduth, Mem, col. 378.
