Rabbi Pinchas of Koretz (1726-91) was one of the great early Chassidic leaders whose works, Nopheth Tzuphim and Midrash Pinchas are classics of Chassidic thought. This manuscript contains many linguistic and stylistic variances from the printed versions of his writings. In many cases elaborating upon the "vechule" and providing further notes regarding sources quoted. Also cited are R. Chaim Krasner, R. Lipa of Chmelnik, R. Michal, R. Shlomo of Polnoyeh who quotes his son-in-law the Rabbi of Chmelnik, R. Gerson Kitever (brother-in-law of the Baal Shem Tov), etc.
The manuscript should be carefully compared to the published versions which appear in differing formats and in a different order - for example, no. 1 in the present manuscript is no. 152 in the published Nopheth Tzuphim. See especially Imrei Pinchas HaShalem (Bnei Braq,1988) for further substantive variances and additional material.
A handsome manuscript of distinct content and with a notable provenance.
