summary

Habermann lists only an 1863 and 1864 edition. JNUL has only the 1863 edition. Likely the first Chassidic story as an original Yiddish publication and not a translation. See Kerem Chabad (1992) no. IV, part II p. 249. According to Chone Shmeruk (Siphruth Yiddish (1978) p. 212 n. 29) this pamphlet represents the beginning of Chassidic hagiography.

pp. 30. Worn and stained, small tear on lower corner of p. 2. Unbound. 8vo.
