First edition, printed during the author’s lifetime. Most first edition copies were printed without approbations and sheet of errata at the end. This is a rare copy in which these omissions appear.
The Bibliography of the Hebrew Book mentions copies which include an additional [2] leaves of approbations, and another leaf at the end with corrections of errors. But they note, “We have not seen these pages.” However, the copy before us contains these very pages! Among the approbations are those of the author’s father-in-law, Rabbi Avraham Yaakov Friedman, the Admor of Sadigura; and of Rabbi Avraham Twersky, the Admor of Trisk. Also contains an errata sheet. (Stefansky 54).
The Admor Rabbi Elimelech of Grodzhisk (1824-1892) was the great-grandson of Rabbi Elimelech of Lizhensk and the Maggid Rabbi Yisrael of Koznitz. He was one of the most important Admors of his generation, and founded the Grodzhisk dynasty. Among his descendants are the Admors of Grodzhisk, Piaseczno, and Koznitz.
