Five volumes in elaborate leather bindings. The name of the Chumash and place of print are printed on the title-pages in red ink. The names and places of print are also embossed on the spines, and the year 1813 was accidentally embossed instead of 1818. The book Ohr HaChaim has been accepted as a fundamental book in the Chasidic world, and the Slavita edition is particularly liked, as it was printed by the holy Rabbi Moshe Shapira, son of Rabbi Pinchas of Koritz.
