Kuntres HaShemot, supplement to the book Ateret Tzvi, with a lengthy commentary to a passage of Zohar from Parshat Vayikra, and other essays omitted from Ateret Tzvi, by the Sar Beit HaZohar Rabbi Tzvi Hirsh of Zidichov. Lviv: Chawe Grosman, 1848. Only edition.
Rebbe Tzvi Hirsh Eichenstein, the Ateret Tzvi of Zidichov (1763-1831), was known by the name "Sar Beit HaZohar" due to his exceptional knowledge of kabbalah. Close disciple of the Chozeh of Lublin. Under his leadership, Zidichov became one of the largest and most prominent Chassidic centers in Galicia.
A glimpse of his profound kabbalistic knowledge is revealed in his book Ateret Tzvi on the Zohar, published in three parts in ca. 1834-1841. In later editions, most of the contents of Kuntres HaShemot was included as an integral part of the book.
