Hilulah D'Rabi. Kolomyya, 1890. Rare Book
Great and heavy eulogy for the Admo"r ... Rabbi Uri, zllh"h - the Admo"r of Staratin, by Rabbi Yechiel Michel Hibner. Kolomyya, 1890. Rare book. There is no complete copy in the National Library. To the best of our knowledge, it has not yet been offered at auction.
On the back of the title page, the author wrote a blessing for Baron Hirsch of Paris - "The Righteous Baron, " Rabbi Shimon Wolf Rothschild, who assisted him very much after his home was burned down to the ground. The author writes that he was the sandak on the day the Admo"r passed away and the child was named after him. To the best of our knowledge, this detail of the baron's life has not been recorded in any publications nor the book about the baron.
Refer to the Hebrew catalog text for brief biographies Rabbi Uri Langner of Rohatyn, and of the author, Rabbi Yechiel Michel Hibner.
[3], 22 leaves, 23 cm. Leaf 12 and leaf 20 bear handwritten comments. Owners' stamps: Avraham Moshe Babad and Rabbi Mendel Babad.
Fine condition. Aging stains. Slight tears in the white margins. New binding.
