Rare! Fine Copy: Sefer Igeret Hakodesh by Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Vitebsk and Sefer Hazchirah by Rabbi Levi Yitzchak of Berditchev - Russia Poland 1840?
Sefer Igeret Hakodesh "nice words by the great Rav ... Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Vitebsk who was a Maggid Meisharim in Tiberius and by the famed Chassid Rabbi Avraham of Kalisk and by Rabbi Chaim Chaikel of Hamdora. And with Hanhagot Yesharot by the famed Chassid Rabbi Elimelech [of Lizhensk] and from Sefer Rav Yeiva [i.e. Yeivi - Rabbi Yaakov Yosef of Ostrohe] and Pirkei Hanhagat Hamitboded by the Rambam. Added to it is Sefer Hazchirah by the famed Gaon Rabbi Levi Yitzchak of Berditchev" - the place and year of printing and the printer's name are not noted. 24 leaves. Some moth perforations to the inside spine, are not noticeable. Aging stains. Simple card binding. Fine, complete copy. Very good overall condition.
About the year of printing of this book: Some scholars believe it was printed in ca. 1840, in Russia or Poland, Lemberg or Zholkva. However, others assume it was printed in Lvov in early 1810. This is based on the fact that the holy Rav of Kalisk, (who passed away in Shevat of that same year) is referred to with the title "נרו", whereas Rabbi Levi Yitzchak of Berditchev (who passed away in Tishrei of that year) is referred to with the title "זצלה"ה". (See: Kiryat Sefer, 36, pp. 127-128, the article by Rabbi Chaim Liberman).
