Torei Zahav, homiletics, ethics, kabbalah and Chassidut on the Torah, festivals, Megillat Eichah and Megillat Esther, by R. Binyamin, the Maggid of Zalozitz (Zaliztsi). Mohyliv, [1816]. First edition.
A paragraph in the foreword by the author's son, on p. [2a], was covered by a printed piece of paper (glued to the page), bearing a corrected version of the text. This piece of paper is unrecorded bibliographically and does not appear in other copies we have seen.
The author, R. Binyamin, Maggid of Zalozitz (d. 1791), was well-versed both in revealed and hidden realms of the Torah. A contemporary of the Baal Shem Tov and early Chassidic masters, he was one of the first disseminators of Chassidic teachings.
