Hadrath Melech (Part II): Hod Melech, P’nei Melech, Kevod Melech.

With rare title page of P’nei Melech dated 1773. The book was published without a title except for P’nei Melech. Vinograd mistakenly states that P’nei Melech was also published without a title. (Vinograd’s date of 1770 is erroneous.) The unusual pagination follows the first part of this work, published in Amsterdam in 1776 (see previous lot). The Rabbi of Shopron (1894-1969) was somewhat of an anomaly among Chassidic Rabbis. Although he was born in Frankfurt and possessed a college degree, he became an adherent of the Rebbe of Munkatch. He later settled in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and followed the ideas and ideals of the Rebbe of Satmar. See N. Bar-Giora Bamberger, The Posen Family (1985), pp. 134 (English), 19-20 (Hebrew)
