Divrei Chaim. First Edition. Zolkiew 1864. Published Anonymously! Fine copy.

Divrei Chaim parts 1 and 2, with novella on the laws of Gittin and Mikva’os, by R. Chaim Halberstam, the famed Divrei Chaim of Sanz. Published anonymously.
On the title page it says “Composed by one of the students…with commentary on the Poskim”. He notes in the introduction that “I have not listed my name for the accepted reason”. This is the first published sefer by the Divrei Chaim, with his responsa being published 11 years later, in 1875.
R. Chaim Halberstam of Sanz “Divrei Chaim” (1797-1876), was the founder of the Sanz Chassidic dynasty. He was the son-in-law of R. Baruch Frankel-Thumim the “Boruch Ta’am” and was a talmid of R. Naftali Tzvi of Ropchitz and R. Tzvi Hirsch of Zidichov. He was renowned not only as one of the great Chassidic masters of his time, but also as a noted Halachic authority. His court attracted thousands of followers, among them many of the generation’s Rebbes and Talmidei Chachomim and he was one the most influential Rabbonim of his era. His descendants followed in his footsteps, combining Chassidic leadership with Halachic erudition, serving both as Chassidic Rebbes and as Rabbonim in Galicia, Poland, Hungary and Romania. The Sanz dynasty is continued today through the Chassidic courts of Bobov, Klausenberg, Stropkov, Zhmigrod, Gorlitz, and others.
