Kuntres Perush HaMilot, called Mahadura Batra – commentary and expansion of the siddur of the Baal HaTanya, by his son Rebbe Dov Ber Shneuri of Lubavitch, the "Mitteler Rebbe". Warsaw, 1867. First edition.
Two title pages, the first brief and the second more detailed. Blue front wrapper, on which an abbreviated version of the title page is printed.
In 1816, the Mitteler Rebbe printed in Kopust a year-round siddur, with kabbalistic and Chassidic explanations of the words of the prayers, which he heard from his father, the Baal HaTanya, on Friday nights and which he later wrote. The explanations of the Baal HaTanya were said in a relatively brief manner and did not cover the entire siddur, only large sections therein. On the second title page of this book it is written: "Since the explanations were originally cited briefly, in his later years Rebbe Dov Ber added strength… to rewrite the explanations which were said in the past…". The book is called Mahadura Batra because it contains elucidation and expansion of explanations which had already been printed briefly in the Kopust siddur, which could be considered the Mahadura Kama. Most of this book, indeed, elucidates and expands upon that which had already been printed in the past. However, part of the book contains new explanations, on the parts of the siddur which the Baal HaTanya did not reach, and these are novellae of his son, the author (Chapters 128-137; 152-166).
In their approbation, the rabbis of Vitebsk attest that the Rebbe, the author, "was very fond of these booklets and often praised them, as I myself heard from his holy mouth".
[1] printed front wrapper, [2], 114 leaves. 24 cm. Good condition. Stains. Minor wear to several leaves. Tear to wrapper (almost without loss). Small wormholes to wrapper, first leaves and last leaf. New leather binding.
Stefansky Chassidut, no. 474.

Chesed L'Avraham, by Kabbalist R. Avraham Azulai. Slavita, [1794]. One of the first books printed by R. Moshe Shapira Rabbi of Slavita (son of R. Pinchas of Korets). Approbations by prominent Chassidic rebbes: R. Yaakov Shimshon of Shepetivka and R. Aryeh Leib of Volochisk.
This kabbalistic book was held in high esteem by great Chassidic leaders and is often cited in early Chassidic literature. "I have heard from those who speak the truth that the Alter Rebbe, author of Shulchan Aruch (HaRav) and of the Tanya, instructed to read his precious compositions" (from the approbation by R. Shimon Menashe Chaikin on the author's commentary to Tractate Avot printed in 1910).
The author, R. Avraham Azulai (1570-1644) was born in Fez, Morocco. Immigrated to Eretz Israel and resided in Hebron. In 1619, upon the outbreak of an epidemic, he fled to Gaza, where he composed this book within five weeks. Most of the book is a collection and arrangement of the teachings of the Ramak which were at that time still in manuscript form. A small part of the content is from the Arizal's writing. The book was first printed in 1685 in two simultaneous editions, in Amsterdam and in Sulzbach, and later reprinted in Slavita in 1794.
[6], 87; 1-34, [1] leaves. Leaf 85 of the first sequence bound after leaf 87. 20.5 cm. Fair-good condition. Stains and wear. Large dampstains. Worming, slightly affecting text on several leaves. New binding.
