Bat Ayin on the Torah, by Rebbe Avraham Dov of Ovruch. Jerusalem: R. Yisrael Bak, [1847]. First edition.
This book is a classic text of Chassidic thought and contains the holiness of Eretz Israel. It was written by the disciples of the author, but it was carefully edited by Rebbe Avraham Dov after Rebbe Mordechai of Chernobyl instructed him to print it.

In his approbation to the 1869 edition, Rebbe Aharon of Chernobyl blesses anyone who buys the book at full price with success in all their dealings.
Handwritten inscription on title page, dated 1893.
[2], 125, [1] leaves. 19 cm. Fair condition. Stains, including dampstains and traces of past dampness. Worming, affecting text, repaired with paper. Open tears to title page and other leaves, including large open tear to final leaf, affecting text and title page border, repaired with paper (with photocopy replacement in several places). New leather binding.
Including final leaf with list of pre-subscribers from Eretz Israel, not present in some copies. This leaf serves as historical documentation of the members of the Chassidic settlement in Jerusalem, Safed, Tiberias and Hebron in the mid-19th century.

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.
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.
[1], 32, [2] leaves. 21.5 cm. Good-fair condition. Stains. Worming, affecting text, repaired with paper. Minor open tears, repaired with paper. Leaves trimmed with slight damage to text on several leaves. New leather binding.
