Tikunei HaZohar. [Iași? 1842?]. The title page states: "As printed in Slavita".
Various inscriptions on front flyleaf, including inscriptions handwritten by Rebbe Menachem Monish Safrin of Felshtin (Skelivka), son of the Damesek Eliezer of Komarno. Ownership inscription in his handwriting: "Monish Safrin from Ko[marno?]", and kvitel inscription in his handwriting: "Menachem Monish son of Chana Sara for a good inscription and sealing in the book of righteous" (this book may have been gifted to one of the Tzaddikim of that time, so that the latter should pray for him).
Another inscription at the top of the same page: "This Tikunim belongs to R. Yisrael Yosef" – presumably R. Yosef Labin of Ziditchov (grandson of R. Tzvi Hirsh of Zidichov), father-in-law of R. Menachem Monish.
