It is based on the 1850 Zhitomir edition with the addition of the introduction and approbations mentioned above.

V'Heye Bracha, on Mishnayot Brachot and Tosefta. By Rebbe Zvi Elimelech Shapira of Dynów, author of Bnei Yissaschar. Przemyśl, 1872. With the book Magid Ta'aluma, on Tractate Brachot of the Babylonian Talmud, by Rabbi Zvi Elimelech Shapira of Dynów. Przemyśl, 1876.
The date on the title page of the first book is 1872, but the book was actually printed in 1875 or 1876. The title page of this book is forged and contains intentional misleading errors: First, the real identity of the author is omitted and written instead on the title page is the name of a disciple of the Bayit Chadash: "Rabbi Zvi disciple of the rabbi author of Bayit Chadash". Moreover, written on the title page is that the book had been printed for the first time in Krakow in 1746. Furthermore, the printer of this forgery omitted from this copy the approbations given for this book in 1874-1875. The reason for this falsification is obscure.
37; [2], 114 leaves. 30 cm. Good-fair condition. Stains. Wear to several leaves. The first title page is detached and slightly torn. Damaged binding.
Stefansky Chassidut, no. 190.
This title page is rare and not listed in the Bibliography Institute. A similar forgery was performed to some copies of the book Magid Ta’aluma. See ibid. Listing 000171581.
