Pri Kodesh Hilulim (Zidichov) – Lviv, 1833 – First Edition
Pri Kodesh Hilulim, introduction and commentary to the book Pri Etz Chaim on the prayer kavanot, by Rebbe Tzvi Hirsh of Zidichov – the "Sar Beit HaZohar". Lviv, [1833]. False imprint: Jides [Yehudit] Rosanes, 1802.
The actual year of printing is hinted to in the closing note of the publisher at the end of the book, where two chronograms each indicate the year 5593 (=1833). This type of falsification was common in Chassidic books printed in Galicia at that time, due to censorship restrictions and the persecution of Chassidim by the Haskalah movement (A. Yaari lists 16 books with similar false imprints).
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.
