summary

The author (1757-1828) was the son of the Kohznitzer Maggid (the Avodas Yisroel) and accompanied his father on visits to R. Elimelech of Lizhensk (the”Noam Elimelech.”) Of humble disposition, the Chozeh of Lublin recommended that he should succeed his father as the second Rebbe of Kohznitz, which he did in 1814.

ff. (1), 188. Previous owner’s marks (Joseph Chaim Biegeleisen), stained, some mostly marginal worming, title loose. Later boards, detached. Lg. 4to.
