summary

One of the great early Chassidic masters, the author (1729-1819) had been a student of the Baal Shem Tov. This work contains approbations of many of the major Chassidic Rebbes of the period including: The Apta Rav, R. Chaim Halberstam of Sanz and the various Rebbes of the Ruzhiner dynasty. The list of subscribers contains the names of many other prominent Chassidic Rabbis. It is uncommon to find approbations from the Rebbes of both Sanz and Sadigura in the same work.

(5), 83, 83-149. Some staining, final few leaves heavily worn. Contemporary boards, spine taped. Lg. 4to.
