"Pri Haaretz." Kopyst, 1814. First edition. Especially rare
Pri Haaretz. Chassidut by Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Vitebsk. Kopyst, at the press of Rabbi Yisrael Yaffe, [1814]. First edition.
[2], 27, [9] leaves. 20 cm.
First edition of a work by a Chassidic leader who saw the Baal Shem Tov. Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Vitebsk (1730-1788) was a prominent disciple of the Maggid of Mezeritsch. In 1777, he led the immigration of 300 Chassidim to Eretz Yisrael and settled in Tiberias. Torah thoughts from Rabbi Avraham, the son of the Maggid of Mezeritsch, were added to this work. It also includes letters that the author sent from Tiberias to Russian Jews.
The printer, Rabbi Yisrael Yaffe, is known as the "Printer from Kopyst." He printed many Chassidic works. Rabbi Yisrael Yaffe was a disciple of Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Vitebsk - the author of this work - and was close to the Baal HaTanya. He carried the Baal HaTanya on his shoulders when he was released from prison in 1799.
Complete copies of this work - with the letters and approbation at the end of the book - are especially rare. To the best of our knowledge, this complete work has never before been sold at auction! Stefansky, Chassidut 477.
Magnificent leather binding. Aging stains. Professionally restored worming holes. In most places, the missing text has been supplied. Fine condition.
