<<AN EXCEPTIONAL, WIDE-MARGINED COPY OF ONE OF THE MOST EXTENSIVE AND IMPORTANT CHASSIDIC COMMENTARIES TO SEPHER TEHILLIM.>> Books printed by the Shapira press are especially sought after by Chassidim as the printers were descendants of R. Pinchos of Koretz. It is traditionally felt that an aura of holiness pervades those books produced by members of this family. R. Eliezer Halevi Horowitz of Tarnogrod (1740-1806) was an eminently learned disciple of R. Yechiel Michel of Zlotchov and R. Elimelech of Lizhensk.
