The book Likutei Shoshanim on the Torah contains Chasidic essays by the Admor Rabbi Moshe Tzvi of Savran. Lemberg, 1872. First edition.
Rabbi Moshe Tzvi Giterman of Savran (1775-1837, Encyclopedia of Chasidut, Part 3, pages 369-371) was a close disciple of Rabbi Baruch of Mezhibuzh. Rabbi Baruch said about him that if he had ten students like Rabbi Moshe Tzvi, it would be easy to bring Mashiach. He had great influence over many Chasidim. While he sharply disagreed with Breslav Chasidim, to the extent that he prohibited eating meat which they slaughtered, he was still written by Breslav chasidim among "names of the tzadikim".
17 leaves. 16 cm. Good condition, light wear at corners, pages cut close to text. Rebound.
