summary

The inscription on the final leaf is obviously to R. Chaim Meir Shapira’s father, R. Aviezri Zelig, the son of R. Chaim Meir of Mogelnitsa (d. 1885), the grandson of R. Yisrael of Koznitz. The label on the title-page is also apparently from the first Aviezri Zelig. Thus this volume contains a record of ownership of three generations of this Chassidic dynasty

ff.82, 2-32 (lacking second title). Upper right hand corner of title repaired affecting a few words of the approbation on the verso. Modern morrocco. Folio
