Ateret Yisrael, by the Magid Rebbe Yisrael of Bohopoli . Zhitomir, 1867. First edition. With approbation of the author's relative, Rebbe Aharon of Chernobyl, who writes of the author's greatness and about his book: "I have known and heard from my father the Rebbe who highly praised him and therefore it is a mitzvah to print his book to strengthen and increase Torah learning". He blesses the publishers that the merit of the Holy Rebbe Magid should protect "them and the printers and those who purchase this book, G-d should bless them in spiritual and material matters with abundance".
On the title page appear stamps of the library of Rebbe Yisrael Freidman of Husiatyn (1858-1949, Encyclopedia L'Chassidut Vol. 2, pp. 561-562), the eldest Ruzhin Rebbe, named after his grandfather, the founder of the dynasty, Rabbi Israel of Ruzhin. In 1894, after his father's death, he was appointed Rebbe of Husiatyn and his father's followers, thousands of Chassidim, accepted his authority. In his late years, he ascended to Eretz Israel and settled in Tel Aviv where he set up his court.
