Biurei HaZohar, commentary to the Zohar, by Rebbe Dov Ber, the Mitteler Rebbe of Lubavitch. Kopust (Kopys): R. Yisrael Yoffe, prominent disciple of the Baal HaTanya, [1816].
First edition, printed in the lifetime of the author the Mitteler Rebbe of Lubavitch.
A fundamental book clarifying many concepts of the Arizal's Kabbalah, according to Chassidic teachings. The commentaries to the Zohar, which the Baal HaTanya imparted to his sons and the elite of his disciples on Shabbat eves, were recorded by his son Rebbe Dov Ber, the Mitteler Rebbe of Lubavitch, and approved by the Baal HaTanya.
Important copy. Ownership inscriptions (Hebrew) by Rabbi Yodel of Vilna – great-grandson of Rabbi Eliyahu Pesseles (cousin of the Gaon of Vilna), and great-grandson of Rabbi Shmuel Av Beit Din of Vilna – last rabbi of Vilna at the time of the Gaon of Vilna, who famously took in as guests the Alter Rebbe and Rebbe Menachem Mendel of Vitebsk, as they arrived in Vilna to argue the case for Chassidus before the Gaon of Vilna: "Yodel of Vilna grandson of Rabbi… Eliyahu Pesseles"; "Yodel of Vilna grandson of Rabbi… Shmuel Rabbi of… the capital Vilna"; "Yodel son of R. Naphtali Herz of Vilna". Rabbi Yodel of Vilna, son of Rebbetzin Libe, daughter of Rabbi Yosef, son of Rabbi Eliyahu Pesseles; Rebbetzin Libe's mother, Gitel, was the daughter of Rabbi Shmuel, Av Beit Din of Vilna.
