The Sefer was prepared from a manuscript that was in the archives of Harav HaKadosh Rabbi Yehoshua of Belz, and approbations were appended from the Gaonim of his generation: Rabbi Tzvi Hirsch Ornstein, Av Beis Din of Lemberg; Rabbi Ephraim Zalman Margolios of Brod; Harav HaKadosh Rabbi Yeshayah Shor, Av Beis Din of Iasi; Harav HaKadosh Rabbi Chaim Halberstam, Av Beis Din of Sanz, the Divrei Chaim; Rabbi Shimon Sofer of Krakow; and others. With the signatures of Rabbi Shlomo Berish Halbertahl on the front endpaper, and with an ownership inscription detailing the lineage of Rav Halbertahl, upward in holiness, through seven generations of the Gaonei Eretz. On leaf 119 appears an ownership inscription: שייך להרב היוחסין מו”ה שלמה בעריש הלברטאהל מבראדי בהרב המאוה”ג וכו' מו”ה משה חיים אבדק”ק חראסיקיא The Sefer was published during the period of the Sanz–Sadigura dispute, and apparently this is the reason that in some copies the approbations of the Admor, the Divrei Chaim of Sanz, and Rabbi Eliyahu of Drohobych were replaced with approbations of the Admori”m of Sadigura, Chortkov, Husiatyn, and Vizhnitz, and changes were made in the lists of the signatories. In the approbation of Rabbi Yeshayah Shor, he adds a Tefillah that the Sefer should serve as a Segulah of protection for those who acquire it: ואני תפלה לנורא עלילה שכל מי שיביא לביתו הספר הזה הנכבד והנעלה יהי לו לשמירה מעולה וינצל מכל מחלה ומקרה ופגע חלילה, ויעלה מזלו מעלה מעלה, כי דבריו יצאו בקדושה ובטהרה גדולה In the approbation of Rabbi Eliyahu, Av Beis Din of Drohobych, he added that: הוא טוב מאוד לעורר הנפש לטובה בעת אמירת תהלים The holy Gaon and Kabbalist Rabbi Moshe Osterer (1705–1845) — “and to him silence is praise, for he was renowned in the days of the Baal Shem Tov, z”l.” He lived in the town of Ostroh, from which he became known as “Osterer, ” and afterwards moved to Brody.
