Stefansky Chassidut, no. 82. There are some variations between the first edition’s different copies, which were corrected during its printing. For example, a separate leaf was printed in this copy: "To inform and reveal that I have approbations from the famous tsaddikim of our times on the printing of the holy book. Also approbations and prohibitions by the scholars and rabbis of Spain…". In some copies this phrase appears in a different version and notes a different location. These variations demonstrate that this is the revised complete version of the first printing of the book. [For more information on the stages of the book’s printing and its corrections at the time of printing which initiated variations of the book, see the article written by Rabbi A. Schorr about the manner in which the books of ”Bet Aharon” were written and printed, in:"Bet Aharon Ve'Yisrael”, Year 6 Issue 1 (31), pp. 139-187].
