This item exposes an interesting phenomenon of Oriental replication of Breslov Chassidic books at that early time in which the teachings of Rabbi Nachman of Breslov had not yet spread to Oriental countries [according to the Bibliography Institute, no books of Rabbi Nachman had been printed in Oriental lands]. Rabbi Natan of Breslov, disciple of Rabbi Nachman on his way to Eretz Israel sojourned to Israel through Istanbul, Lebanon and Alexandria and wherever he traversed he disseminated the teachings of Rabbi Nachman of Breslov. This manuscript is apparently a rare copy of some of the books that Rabbi Natan distributed in these countries.
