Shaar Gan Eden, Korzec, [1803]. First Edition
Shaar Gan Eden. Shearim in kabbalah by kabbalist Rabbi Yaakov Koppel of Mezeritsch. Korzec, [1803]. First edition.
Specifications: [2], 84 leaves. 30 cm. Light blue paper. Stefansky, Chassidut 588.

The title page notes that when the manuscript of this work was brought the Baal Shem Tov, he hugged and kissed it, waved it above his head and said, "Ashrei ha'am shekacha lo." ["Praiseworthy is the nation for whom this is so."]
