Kitvei Kodesh from the Chassid Rabbi Pinchas of Koritz. ztzk"l
Large manuscript of Divrei Torah and Chassidut by Rabbi Pinchas of Koritz, one the Besh"t's leading disciples.
Arranged according to the order of the parashiyot and holidays, and Talmudic tractates, divided into over 700 se'ifim aside from the anthology of stories.
This manuscript was transcribed before the Holocaust by Rabbi Pinchas Chodrov, grandson of Rabbi Pinchas Shapira, from a manuscript that had been in the possession of the Admo"r, the author of Imrei Emet of Gur, who received it from the estate of his father, the author of Sefat Emet of Gur.
Years later, during the Holocaust, before he was martyred al kiddush Hashem, he gave a bundle of manuscripts to a non-Jewish acquaintance of Rabbi Pinchas's, and requested that he give it to the first Jew he comes across, and so the manuscript survived. (More material on this included).
Sefer Imrei Pinchas HaShalem tells of these events, with some differences.
The bundle with the manuscript also contained two booklets with divrei Torah by Rabbi Pinchas Chodrov. Inter alia, there are Torah insights he heard in the names of Admo"rim, including the Admo"r, the author of Imrei Emet of Gur.
Rare and important manuscript, only one in the world, which miraculously survived, illuminating the Torot of one of the progenitors of Chassidut.
Extraordinarily important.
[84], [37], [12] leaf. Approximately 20 cm.
Placed in a magnificent leather box.
