Kol Simcha. Breslau, 1859. First Edition. Pedigreed Copy with Important Glosses

Kol Simcha. Novellae on the Chamisha Chumshei Torah according to chassidut by Rabbi Simcha Bunim of Peshischa. [Breslau, 1859]. First edition. Pedigreed copy.

Specifications: [1] 58, 25 [should be: 28] [1] leaves. 19 cm. Stefansky Chassidut 520.

Unique Features: Pedigreed copy. Stamps of the Admor Rabbi Yechiel Meir of Kotzk - Lomaz, who was the son of the Admor Rabbi Zvi Hirsch of Lomaz, who lived in Praga near Warsaw. Several handwritten glosses among the book's leaves, which may have been written by the Admor Rabbi David Morgenstern of Kotzk, the firstborn son of the Admor Rabbi Menachem Mendel - the 'Saraf of Kotzk' (1809-1873), the second Admor of the Kotzk dynasty.

Background: First edition of the words of Torah and chassidut delivered by Rabbi Simcha Bunim of Peshischa (1765-1827), a Chassidic giant – the successor of the "Yehudi HaKadosh" of Peshischa. In his youth, he studied with Rabbi Mordechai Bennet of Nikolsburg, and also studied languages and science. He later became attracted to chassidut and attached himself to the Chozeh of Lublin. He greatly impacted the Chassidic movement. The letter sent from Peshischa about the secret of Rosh Hashana is printed at the end of the book with the signature of Rabbi Simcha Bunim followed by signatures of the great Admors of Poland.

Condition: Fine. Stained title page. Minimal aging stains and worming holes. Simple binding.
