* Levushei Ohr Yekarot. Kabbalah, elucidation of Recanati's commentary on the Torah by Rabbi Mordechai Jaffe.
Ohr Yekarot is the tenth "Levush" of the ten Levushei Malchut authored by Rabbi Mordechai Jaffe. According to what is written on the back of the title page, this section was printed before the ninth and eighth sections. In the headings of the pages, the composition is entitled Ohr Yekarot. However, in his introduction, the author refers to it as Even HaYekarah. In addition, the introduction contains an apology by the author for printing kabbalistic matters.

* Levush Eder HaYakar. "Ninth 'Levush' of the book Levush Malchut ... includes the wisdom of astronomy and the pathways of the stars ... with pictures." This composition is a comprehensive elucidation on the laws of sanctification of the new month by the Ramba"m, with dozens of sketches. Accompanying it (at the end of the volume), is the author's compilation "Beurei Tzurat HaAretz," an elucidation on Sefer Tzurat HaAretz by Rabbi Avraham B'Rabi Chiyya.

Rabbi Ya'akov Biderman [1806-1863] was the Av Beit Din of Kozhnitz and of Vishogrod. He was related to the Sha"ch and to the Pnei Yehoshua, and was the grandfather of the Admori"m of Gur. He was born to his father Rabbi Yisrael Isser of Mezeritch, who was among the leading disciples of the 'Holy Jew' of Pshischa, was the primary disciple of Rabbi Shlomo Leib of Lentshna and submitted himself to the Admo"r of Kotzk, who treated him with great respect. He served as rabbi in Mezeritch, Kozhnitz and Vishogrod, by whose name he is known. He passed away and was buried in Warsaw. (Refer to: Alfasi, Encyclopedia L'Chassidut B, 260).
