Hakdama Ve'Derech Le'Etz Ha'Chaim (Sur me;Ra Ve'Aseh Tov) -the methods to learn kabbalah, by Rabbi Zvi Hirsch of Zidichov. Lvov, [1832]. First edition. Stefansky Chassidut no. 183.

On the title page of the book before us there is a mistake in the date of printing. The years as written as "Becha Yeranenu Tzaddikim" which equals 5590 (1830). However, on the reverse side of the title page, the author is referred to (in the preface of the publisher Rabbi Yosef Katz Rappaport) four times with the addition of the phrase "N.E" [Nucho Eden - May he rest in peace]. The author died on the 11th of Tamuz 5591 (1831). The publisher ends his preface with the phrase "Ratzon Ve'Ketz Ha'Geulah" [5592].
On the title page of the book, the signature of Rabbi Yisrael Yehuda Zeltzer of Lvov.

[1], 25 leaves. 23 cm.
Condition: Good. Wear and tear to the title page and the margins of all other leaves of the book. A few stains on some of the leaves. New binding.
