Sefer HaPli'ah - Sefer HaKaneh, kabbalistic work by R. Avigdor Kara of Prague. Przemyśl, 1883.
The approbations to this edition are the source of the Chassidic tradition regarding the powerful Segula of owning this book. R. Aharon of Sanz, son of the Divrei Chaim, writes in his approbation "The tradition is accepted among us that it has the power to bring blessing into the home". Another approbation by the Rebbe of Husiatyn states, "Without a doubt, one who brings this volume into his home will see great blessing and protection." Especially interesting is the approbation of R. Uri HaCohen of Sambir who humbly writes: "Although I do not understand anything in this holy book, it is worthwhile to take Sefer HaPli'ah and see its holy letters… to enlighten our eyes with his Torah, to understand even a little of this book's holy letters".
[4], 85; 74, [4] leaves. 25 cm. Brittle paper. Good condition. Small tears and slight wear damage. Old binding; worn.

Three volumes printed in Russia-Poland, early 19th century.
1-2. Sefer Yalkut Chadash, a compilation of medrashic interpretations, Zohar and Kabbalistic works [alphabetically organized], by R. Yisrael ben Binyamin of Belzec. Radyvyliv, [1814-1818].
Brought to print by R. Yosef Yoska of Voltchisk, with the approbation of his father, R. Mordechai of Kremnitz (1746-1820, son of R. Yechiel Michel, the Maggid of Zlotchov). The final page contains an interesting essay regarding the serious errors found in the Jewish calendars commonly printed in prayerbooks and bibles. It is interesting to note that two years later, in 1820, the siddur "Tefilla Yeshara" was printed in Radyvyliv. It was among the first Chassidic prayerbooks, and became known as "the Radvill siddur". The siddur was meticulously edited, proofread and brought to print by R. Mordechai of Kremnitz, under the supervision of Rebbe Avraham Yehoshua Heschel of Apta (Opatow), author of "Ohev Yisrael".
Bound with: Sefer Nisyonot Avraham, a commentary on the grammatical aspects of Rashi's commentary on the Prophets and the Talmud, by R. Avraham Luria of Shad (Seda, Lithuania). Vilna, [1821].
[1], 146; [2], 44 (i.e. 34) leaves. Faulty pagination. 21 cm. Good condition. Light blue pages. Stains and worming. Tears to a number of pages with damage to the text. First pages have been repaired with paper. Inscriptions, signatures and stamps. Original binding; damaged.
3. Sifri, part II, on Sefer Devarim, with the Zera Avraham commentary by R. Avraham Yekutiel Zalman Lichtenstein. Radyvyliv, [1820].
Copy that belonged to Rebbe Moshe of Pilov (Pulawy), author of Medrash Moshe (1859-1929). His stamp is found on page 106a and page 110b.
[2], 110 leaves. Faulty pagination. Leaves 68 and 67 appear twice, also between leaves 62 and 63. 36.5 cm. Most pages in good condition. Several pages in fair condition; worming with damage to text. Stains. Ancient binding.
Variant. This copy contains the place and date of publication on the title page as well as approbations; these are missing in some other copies. [The first volume on Sefer Bamidbar was printed in Dyhernfurth (Brzeg Dolny), 1811].
Less than ten books were printed in Radyvyliv (see enclosed material); two of which are offered here.
