summary

The "Komarner" was one of the most prolific Chassidic authors, with works of halacha, homiletics, Talmudic and Mishnaic commentaries, Kabbalah and Chassiduth. Affectionately known as R. Eizikel Komarner (1806-1874) he was raised by his uncle, the Kabbalist R. Tzvi Hirsch Eichenstein of Zydachow. A multi-faceted personality, he also enjoyed a reputation as a miracle worker - indeed in 1944 Ben-Menachem published a diary of R. Isaac of Komarno, Megillath Setarim, replete with mystical revelations

Two pages. Written in a neat Aschkenazic cursive script in two columns
