Maggid Devarav LeYaakov (by Rabbi Dov Ber of Mezeritch) – Lviv, 1797

Sefer Maggid Devarav LeYaakov, Likutei Amarim, by the Maggid Rabbi Dov Ber of Mezeritch (Mezhirichi). [Lviv: 1797].

Title page states: "the book Maggid Devarav LeYaakov [last letters of the book's name are emphasized on the title page, alluding to the name of the author, R. Dov], selected discourses… pure sayings... hearken to the words of the king... every month and every week... from the great and holy Torah scholar.... R. Dov Ber, who was a preacher in Mezeritch and other communities…".
The book was brought to print by R. Shlomo of Lutsk (author of Divrat Shlomo), close disciple and relative of the Maggid of Mezeritch. R. Shlomo wrote two comprehensive forewords to the book, which are renowned in the Chassidic world. The first portrays the elevated stature of his teachers, the Baal Shem Tov and the Maggid of Mezeritch, the Divine Inspiration which rested upon them and the lofty levels they reached.
