Sefer HaPli'ah - Sefer HaKaneh, kabbalistic work by R. Avigdor Kara of Prague. Przemyśl, 1883.
The approbations to this edition are the source of the Chassidic tradition regarding the powerful Segula of owning this book. R. Aharon of Sanz, son of the Divrei Chaim, writes in his approbation "The tradition is accepted among us that it has the power to bring blessing into the home". Another approbation by the Rebbe of Husiatyn states, "Without a doubt, one who brings this volume into his home will see great blessing and protection." Especially interesting is the approbation of R. Uri HaCohen of Sambir who humbly writes: "Although I do not understand anything in this holy book, it is worthwhile to take Sefer HaPli'ah and see its holy letters… to enlighten our eyes with his Torah, to understand even a little of this book's holy letters".
[4], 85; 74, [4] leaves. 25 cm. Brittle paper. Good condition. Small tears and slight wear damage. Old binding; worn.
