Birkat David, Chassidic explanations on the Five Books of the Torah, by Rabbi Avraham David Warman of Buchach. [Lvov, 1845].
Year of printing written in Hebrew 5565 which is 1805 and in foreign language 1800, name of printing press: Jihdas Rosanis. The name of the printer and the two dates (which contradict) are forged. The real date of printing is hinted in the signature of the person who brought the book to the printing press, at the end of the book the words "tefilla l'Elokei David" are bold hinting to 5605 which is 1845. This type of forgery was done to Chassidic books printed in Galicia at that time due to censors and the persecution of the Maskilim (the Enlightenment Movement) of the Chassidim [A. Ya'ari counts 16 books forged in this manner. See: A. Ya'ari, Printing Press of Rabbanit Yehudit Rosanis in Lvov, Kiryat Sefer, 17, 700, page 107, no. 43].
On the reverse side of the title page, the verse "Torat Hashem temima" is printed in large letters and under the verse is a statement that approbations were not printed "for hidden reasons". Apparently, also the omission of approbations was part of the effort to hide the printing details for reasons stated above.
Rebbe Avraham David Warman of Buchach, author of "Da'at Kdoshim" and "Eshel Abraham", (1771-1841, Encyclopedia L'Chassidut, Vol. 1, pages 68-72), son-in-law of Rabbi Zvi Hirsh Kara (author of “Neta Sha'ashuim”), disciple of Rabbi Levi Yitzchak of Berdichev, Rabbi of Yazlovets and Buchach, a posek and mekubal, author of “Eshel Avraham” and other books.
[2], 182 leaves. 22.5 cm. Good condition, stains, moth marks. Rebound.

Geulat Yisrael, glosses and explanations on Gevurot Hashem by the Maharal of Prague. Rabbi Yisrael Hofstein – the Maggid of Koznitz. Warsaw, 1865. First edition.
It is a known fact that the Maggid of Koznitz held the Maharal's books in great esteem and he was responsible for their penetrating Chassidic circles. Printed in this book, are glosses written by the Maggid of Koznitz on the sheets of his copy of “Gevurot Hashem” of the Maharal. The commentary of the Maggid on the Pesach Haggadah “Gevurot Yisrael” printed one year previously in Lvov is based on these glosses as his son-in-law writes in the introduction to this commentary, but not all were printed there. Inside the book his glosses to “Ner Mitzvah” and to “Be'er HaGolah” of the Maharal were printed as well. The glosses to “Be'er HaGolah” were printed in the book's 1804 edition. See previous item.
[16] leaves. 16 cm. Good-fair condition. Stains and several tears, paper pasted on title page for restoration. Bound with another book. Damaged binding.

Stefansky Chassidut no. 285. The year 1809 is written on the title page which is impossible since Rebbe Nachman of Breslav died in 1811 and on the title page after his name the initials z"l (of blessed memory) are written.
Regarding this edition, a difference of opinion exists as to whether it was printed in Lemberg or in Korets as well as its year of print. Rabbi Nathan Tzvi König (Neveh Tzadikim, B'nei Brak, 1969, page 41) writes that it was printed in Lemberg, c. 1830. Contradicting opinions: Rosenthal, Yode'ah Sefer and Tzedner write, Korets 1809.
