Arvei Nachal, on the Torah, by R. David Shlomo Eibeschutz, Rabbi of Soroki. [Sudylkiv: Pinchas Eliezer Bilitch? 1825-1826].
The author, R. David Shlomo Eibeschutz (1755-1813, Encyclopedia L'Chassidut, I, pp. 501-503), was a prominent Chassidic leader and posek, and served as rabbi of Soroki. In 1809, he immigrated to Eretz Israel and settled in Safed, and there he is buried. His relative R. Levi Yitzchak of Berdychiv writes about him in an approbation that he is "as astute and well-versed in Torah as the sages of old, and all his deeds are performed for the sake of Heaven". R. Eibeschutz wrote many compositions, among them the famous halachic work Levushei Serad. His book Arvei Nachal became a classic Chassidic text – more than 20 editions have been printed since its initial printing (it was also included in an edition of the Torah).
[2], 98; 41; [1], 43-168 leaves. 23 cm. Fair condition. Stains (including some dark stains and dampstains) and wear. Tears, including several open tears, repaired. Worming to many leaves, with significant damage to text. Leaves trimmed, affecting headings. Signatures. New binding.
Two editions of this book were printed simultaneously. There are several differences between the editions, including minor typographic variations to the title page (in one edition the bottom lines are in a square typeface and in the parallel edition in Rashi script) and in the text layout (the notes in parentheses were printed in one edition in regular-sized letters and in the parallel edition in small letters). Ch. Lieberman, who noted several differences between the editions, claims that the edition offered here (in which the notes in parentheses are printed in regular-sized letters) is an "intermediate edition", printed in Sudylkiv ca. 1830, between the first edition – Sudylkiv 1825-1826 and the Sudylkiv 1835 edition. This assertion is also recorded in the Bibliography of the Hebrew Book. Nonetheless, the source of this supposed date of printing is not clear, nor are the reasons for Lieberman's conclusion as to which edition was printed first. See: Ch. Lieberman, Ohel Rachel, I, New York 1980, pp. 372-373.
The publishing year listed here follows Stefansky Chassidut, no. 470, where both editions are recorded as variants of the first edition.
