Ginat Egoz, on Kabbalistic wisdom. By Rabbi Yosef ben Giktilia. Zhovkva, [1773].
Many stamps of Rebbe "Yisrael Friedman" of Chortkov. Signatures of two Chortkov Chassidim who lived in the city of Shatava: Rabbi Yosef Burstein [from the family of Rabbi Shmuel HaCohen Burstein of Shatava, author of Ma'adanei Shmuel and Minchat Shabbat, a Chortkiv Chassid] and the signature of Rabbi "Aharon ben Freida Shochet and Bodek from Shatava”, who apparently gave the book to his teacher and rebbe and wrote his name and the name of his mother (like in a kvittel) for prayer and blessing.
Rebbe Yisrael Friedman of Chortkov (1854-1933), son of Rabbi David Moshe of Chortkov and son-in-law of Rabbi Avraham Ya'akov of Sadigura – holy sons of Rabbi Yisrael of Ruzhin. One of most important Rebbes of Ruzhin and an outstanding Torah scholar and Chassid. He was among the founders of Agudat Yisrael and chairman of Mo'etzet Gedolei HaTorah. His thousands of followers included many Torah giants such as Rabbi Meir Shapira of Lublin, Rabbi Meir [Maharam] Arik and Rabbi Steinberg of Brody. His court in Chortkiv, Galicia was destroyed during World War I and he relocated to Vienna.
