Bet Aharon, Al Ha’Torah Ve’Al Ha’avoda (Hebrew: on the Torah and on worship of G-d), by Rabbi Aharon Perlow, the Karlin Rebbe. Brody, 1875. First edition. Two title pages.
At the beginning of the book is a collection of letters and Chassidic customs written by the dynasty of the Karlin-Stolin rebbes: Rebbe Aharon "Ha’Gadol" of Karlin, his son Rebbe Asher (the first), his son Rebbe Aharon (the second, "Ha’Zaken") and his son Rebbe Asher (the second, "Ha’Tza'ir").
[3] leaves, 316 pages, [3, 2] pages. Approximately 25 cm. Good-fair condition. Worm damages on some leaves. Stains, tears and some corrections on the first title page, old binding, with leather spine, worn and damaged.
Stefansky Chassidut, no. 82. There are some variations between the first edition’s different copies, which were corrected during its printing. For example, a separate leaf was printed in this copy: "To inform and reveal that I have approbations from the famous tsaddikim of our times on the printing of the holy book. Also approbations and prohibitions by the scholars and rabbis of Spain…". In some copies this phrase appears in a different version and notes a different location. These variations demonstrate that this is the revised complete version of the first printing of the book. [For more information on the stages of the book’s printing and its corrections at the time of printing which initiated variations of the book, see the article written by Rabbi A. Schorr about the manner in which the books of ”Bet Aharon” were written and printed, in:"Bet Aharon Ve'Yisrael”, Year 6 Issue 1 (31), pp. 139-187].
