Although the first work is listed by Vinograd as being the first Hebrew book published in Brody (probably based upon the afterword), it was actually issued in Lemberg as is evident from the second title page. The second work is a historical chronicle concerning the effect of military conflicts upon the Jews of Europe from the mid-18th to mid-19th century, with additions by Jacob Bodek.
