Interesting approbation by his close disciple Rebbe Chaim of Sanz who writes that although in the past he did not agree to print the holy teachings of R. Naftali of Ropczyce, "Because I knew that the author did not approve of printing his Torah novellae. However, on second thought, I decided that it was good that the printers published these writings. It is known that Rabbi Chaim Vital also refrained from publishing his novellae and the teachings he received from his teacher, the Ari, and did not allow his disciples to write them, nevertheless, the tsaddikim of his times made efforts to copy, write and publish them and the world shone…". On the verso of the approbation is a notice by the person who brought the book to press: "I have called the book Or HaNer, however the holy rebbe of Sanz called it Zera Kodesh, and I have cancelled my will before his holy will".
Both parts in one volume: [2], 5-123, [1] leaves; [1], 120 leaves. (Missing leaves 1-4 of Part 1 - Parshat Bereshit). 22.5 cm. Fair condition. Wear and some stains. Worming. Many handwritten glosses, some with significant content. Old fabric and leather binding.

This book is also known to be a segulah for livelihood. To this day, people from all over the world visit the gravesite of the Rymanów Rebbe to pray for livelihood.
