Book of Tehillim with the commentary “Darash Moshe” by the kabalist Rabbi Moshe Osterer, the Maggid of Brod. Lvov, 1879. First edition. Rare.
[6], 9, 345; 33-43 pages. First edition, printed from a manuscript from the
genizah of the Rebbe Rabbi Yehoshua of Belz. Refer to the introduction about the travels of the manuscript.
There are copies in which on page [a, 3] is printed an approbation of Rabbi Chaim of Sanz. In other copies, such as the one before us, printed there are the approbations of the Rebbes of Sadigora, Chortkov, Husiatyn and Vizhnitz (most likely because of the disagreement between Sanz and Sadigora).
The author was Rabbi Moshe Osterer, the Maggid of Brod and one of the great kabalists of the well-known
kloiz in Brod, author of the book
Arugat HaBosem on
Shir HaShirim.
In the introduction to our book the publisher recounts that he heard from the Rebbe Rabbi Yehoshua of Belz that his father, the “Sar Shalom” of Belz, said that at the time that the author wrote his commentary on
Shir HaShirim, the soul of King Solomon rested on him.
