Or HaChaim, censure of the study of philosophy, by R. Yosef Yaavetz - the Chassid Yaavetz, with Maayan Ganim, commentary and expansions, by Rebbe Tzvi Elimelech Shapiro Rabbi of Dinov, author of Bnei Yissaschar. Zhovkva, 1848. First edition of the Maayan Ganim commentary. Bound with: Yismach Lev, commentary on Aggadot and Midrashim (following the order of the Talmudic tractates), by Rebbe Menachem Nachum Twersky of Chernobyl. Lviv, 1848.
The author, R. Yosef Yaavetz (1440?-1508), a Spanish exile, presents his contention that the expulsion resulted from Spanish Jewry's preoccupation with Greek philosophy, preferring it over Torah wisdom. His book Or HaChaim was first printed in Ferrara, 1554.
Maayan Ganim by the Bnei Yissaschar is a polemic work. The main part is a caustic diatribe on the Haskalah movement - against Galician maskilim, Moses Mendelssohn and his writings, their followers and prospective followers.
This is presumably the first work fiercely criticizing and denunciating not only Mendelssohn's works and translations but also Mendelssohn himself.
Maayan Ganim was printed after the author's passing (Tevet 1841). After the book was published, the author's son, Rebbe David of Dinov, presented it to Rebbe Yehoshua of Belz, a leading Galician rebbe. After studying the book, R. Yehoshua exclaimed: "This is not a book, this is a piece of Jewish heart… a fiery flame". In response, Rebbe David described to him the circumstances under which his father composed the book: "My father was once ill for six consecutive weeks, he hardly ate and drank… [His family] summoned a doctor to examine him, who pronounced that the patient has a certain desire, which if fulfilled, would help him recover. Upon hearing this, R. Tzvi Elimelech took paper and ink, closeted himself in his room, and began writing the book Maayan Ganim… without stopping. When he finished writing… he declared that he feels better, and added: Now I have revealed to all the impure character of the maskilim" (R. Tzvi Elimelech of Dinov, II, Bnei Brak 2005 edition, p. 514).

Imrei Moshe, Chassidic essays on the Torah portions, by R. Avraham Yosef Moshe Podhorzer, disciple of R. Moshe Leib of Sassov. Safed-[Lviv], [1866]. First edition. Two copies.
The book was printed in two different places: Safed and Lviv. Most of the book (leaves 1-32) was printed in Safed, in large Rashi script. The book was later completed in Lviv, where the title page (featuring Safed as place of printing), 7 following leaves, and leaves 33-36 were printed. These leaves were printed in small Rashi script. In order to make the book more uniform, the first page of leaf 1 was also reprinted in Lviv and pasted over the original leaf 1.
The present lot includes two copies: one with the new page pasted over the original page, and a second copy where the new page was removed, revealing the original page (the new page printed in Lviv is enclosed, provided from a different copy).
Copy 1: [8], 36 leaves. 20 cm. Good condition. Stains. Open tear to title page, repaired with paper, and minor marginal tear to another leaf, not affecting text. Stamps. New binding.
