Or HaChochma, Chassidic and kabbalistic essays on the Torah, by the kabbalist R. Uri Feivel of Krisnipoli (Chervonohgrad) and Dubienka. [Łaszczów, 1815]. First edition. With the approbations of the Chozeh of Lublin and Rebbe Tzvi Aryeh of Olik (Olyka). The author, the kabbalist R. Uri Feivel of Krisnipoli and Dubienka (d. between 1804-1808), close disciple of R. Kehat of Werish, disciple of the Baal Shem Tov. R. Feivel's son describes his father in his foreword to this book as a prolific author, who also wrote a composition on the Torah consisting of 15 explanations for each verse, as well as compositions on the Five Megillot, Tikunei Zohar, Idrot, Safra DeTzniuta, Sefer Yetzira, "awesome, concealed and impenetrable commentaries", yet all were destroyed in a fire. R. Meir Rabbi of Brody describes the author in his approbation: "He never departed from the tent of Torah, delving into its revealed and hidden realms, and feared G-d out of love, and most of his knowledge and study pertained to Kabbalah. Particular sanctity is ascribed to this book, R. Moshe Tzvi Landau of Kleinwardein writes in his book "Shulchan Melachim", on the laws pertaining to birthing mothers "and it has already become widespread to place a book wrapped in a sheet beneath the head of the birthing mother as she experiences contractions - and it is customary to place the holy book Noam Elimelech and the holy book Or HaChochma". (His words are quoted in halachic literature). It is also reported that R. Yeshaya Zilberstein of Waitzen, "would send the Or HaChochma book to laboring mothers, so it could be placed beneath their cushion as a segulah for an easy birth". [2], 76; 46; [1], 60, 59-103 leaves. Separate title page for part II (Vayikra-Devarim). Leaves 27-28 of the first pagination, and leaves 17-18 of the second pagination, are included twice. Approx. 22.5 cm. Good-fair condition. Tears and worming to title page and subsequent leaf, not affecting text, repaired with paper. Extensive worming to the book, affecting text, repaired with paper. Stains. New leather binding. The two title pages state "Korets, 1795", yet these facts are forged (see Bibliography of the Hebrew Book, listing 000202798). Stefansky Chassidut, no. 23.
