Sha'ar HaYichudim, Tikkun Avonot, Tzaddik Yessod Olam and the Commentary Shirim Shel Shabbat, Per the Ar"i. Lemberg, 1855

On the title page: There are also some new amulets here - "expert person, expert amulet" for any bad event - fire, plague ... from our rabbi, the Ar"i HaKadosh.

The book was printed by order of the Admo"r Rabbi Avraham Ya'akov of Sadigura. The one who brought it to print, Rabbi Yehudah Leibush Rapaport, wrote in the introduction that the Admo"r of Sadigura took amulets in the book from him, as did his father, the sacred tzaddik, Rabbi Yisrael of Ruzhin, as did all his brothers, the tzaddikim. He also wrote that the sons-in-law of the Admo"r Rabbi Meir of Premishlan wrote that their father-in-law bought the amulets from him, and said that they are a great segulah for all disease and blemishes.

Rabbi Yosef Segal Landau of Iasi, close associate of Rabbi Yisrael of Ruzhin, also studied Kabbalah with him. It was he who pleaded with him to accept the rabbinate of Iasi. He wrote in the approbation that it is a protection from fire, rescue from plague, Heaven forbid, and from many other troubles. Rabbi Yeshayah Schorr of Chotin wrote in the approbation that the amulets are tried-and-true, and this book is an excellent protection for the home.

On page 32b, printed across the entire page: This amulet is for a plague, from the Ar"i HaKadosh; and on the book's leaves are Kabbalistic diagrams and amulets.

With the Kabbalistic commentary for Shabbat hymns composed by the Ar"i, with the text of the hymns.
