First edition, Amsterdam [1648-1649] Emanuel Benevnishti publisher. with separate cover sheet for the introduction 'ווי העמודים' (Vovei HaAmudim) by the son of the author Rabbi Sheftil Sega"l.

'מרוב ענוה כאשר גבר ענותנותו הוא לקיים מצות כבוד אחר מות אביו קרא אותו בשם הקדמה כאלו אינו ספר בפני עצמו רק הקדמה בעלמא לספר אביו הגדול...אמנם הוא ספר גדול ברב איכות וחדושים מופלאים....


Rare and unique copy, kept in very good condition, belonged as stated to hrh"k Rabbi Shimon Nosson Nata Biderman of Leluv-Krakow, Great and holy sage lived in the Holy City of  Jerusalem. He traveled durring his life to bask by his Rabbi hrh"k Rabbi Yisrael of Stolin [the 'Yenuka', called the 'Frankfurter' for the place of his holy grave in Frankfurt]. During the years 1913-1926 he established his courtyard in the Jewish city of 'Krakow' and from there his name spread all over Poland.    


In this edition of the Shl"a HaKodosh, the Rabbi placed kvitlech and reminders of requests he received and they have been kept up till today over 90 years, without anyone touching and removing them from the place the holy Rabbi placed them.


At the beginning of the sefer are names of dedications. Hand written large and similar to the hand writing of Rabbanim of Leluv.

Also important ownership signatures that have not been decrypted.


Within the sefer there are two editings holy hand written on the rare volume:

One long one, at the beginning of the number of commandments starting as known from Parashat Bo, he added the commandments from before Parashat Bo, according to Sefer HaChinuch.

The second comment, is a few lines, in Kabalah, about dealing honestly.


Found among the kvitlech, is an interesting note with a list of expenses for the Beit Hakneset, and at the end is written:

'וד' ירחם עלינו בזכות אבותנו שלא יהא ח"וש שום מכשול ושום פקפוק ושיהא עסיקתנו למזל וברכה והצלחה ולכל ישראל לאלטער אמן ואמן


מעבר לפיתקא, סיכום בעיפרון על ההוצאות המוזכרות בפיתקא בכתב יד הרה"ק רבי שמעון נתן נטע
