summary

The author who served as a Rabbi in Rumilov (Harimilov) was a disciple of R. Moshe Leib of Sassov (see f. 12b). The opening nine leaves and ff. 33-36 are here set in differing font from the rest of the volume. This copy also contains a variant f. 10 pasted over the original leaf. Published by the author’s grandson, R. Jonah of Tarnopol who settled in Safed but was eventually forced to return to Poland due to illness, hunger and the overall desolation of Safed. Apparently it was in Lemberg that he completed the printing of this book.

ff. (10), 36. Few tears. Later boards. 4to.
