Toldot HaChassidim, an interesting work on the lives and biographies of two rishonim: Rabbi Yehuda Chassid Shirlion (Judah ben Isaac Messer Leon) and Rabbi Yehuda HaChassid ben Rabbi Shmuel of Shapira. With azharot and tzava’ot from Rabbi Yehuda HaChassid (of Shapira) with a likkut from books of rabbis from the surrounding areas.
First edition, published by Rabbi Menachem Eliezer Ohler. 8, 32, 4, 4 pages. Never before seen at auction. Many approbations from gedolim of the period: Admor Rabbi Aharon Halberstam (son of the Divrei Chaim of Sanz), Rabbi Akiva Krenitzer of Krakow, the Aderet of Ponevezh, Rabbi Bonem Sofer ben gaon Rabbi Shimon Sofer, the gaon Rabbi Azriel Hildesheimer, and Rabbi Chaim Natan Dembitzer.
Pages detached, printed jacket—front only. Creases and tears in the margins, see pictures.
The body of the work has notes and markings handwritten on the contents. Looks like a critical take on the work.
