(Chassidut) Imrei Moshe, First Edition - Book Printed Partly in Safed and Partly in Lviv 1866.


Sefer Imrei Moshe, Chassidic essays on the Torah portions, by Rebbe Avraham Yosef Moshe Podhorzer, disciple of Rebbe Moshe Leib of Sassov. Safed-[Lviv], [1866]. First edition.


The book was printed in two different places: Safed and Lviv. Most of the book (leaves 1-32) was printed in Safed, in large Rashi script. The book was later completed in Lviv, where the title page (featuring Safed as place of printing), 7 following leaves, and leaves 33-36 were printed. These leaves were printed in small Rashi script. In order to make the book more uniform, the first page of leaf 1 was also reprinted in Lviv and pasted over the original leaf.


2 title pages. Aprobition of Rebbe Chaim Halberstam of Tzans on reverse of 2nd title page.


Very good condition, later binding.


Stefansky Chassidut, no. 56.
