Tzemach Dovid. Lemberg, [1847], With Supplements about Chassidic Greats
Tzemach David. History of the Jewish Nation and Gentile Nations, stories and tales and history of Jewish leaders by Rabbi Dovid Ganz. Lemberg, [1847]. With supplements regarding Chassidic leaders.
120 leaves. 18 cm.
This edition features supplemental leaves 44, 2-53, with 'supplements from the sixth millennia…by a sage from Lemberg'. Ben Yaakov states that this is R' Avraham Mendel Mohr (Refer to Otzar HaSefarim 90-136).
These supplements include Jewish scholars and righteous people in addition to Chassidic patriarchs from the time of the Ba'al Shem Tov until the author's time. The descriptions, written by a scholar who actually lived in (or soon after) their time, is very interesting (for example, he describes the Hafla'a simply as a disciple of the Maggid of Mezeritsch, see leaf 50,b).
Not bound. Fine condition.
