Zohar on the Torah by the holy Tanna R. Shimon Bar Yochai, part II - Shemot. Kopust (Kopys), [1810]. Copy of the holy Maggid of Koznitz (Kozienice), with his handwritten signature on the last leaf of the book (beneath the colophon), consisting of his first name: "Yisrael". The front endpaper contains the signature "Yaakov Dovid son of R. Yisrael Yitzchak" - the handwritten signature of Rebbe Yaakov David of Radoshitz (Radoszyce), son of R. Yisrael Yitzchak of Radoshitz and grandson of R. Yissachar Ber of Radoshitz. The Rebbes of the Radoshitz dynasty were reputebly closely connected to the Maggid of Koznitz and to his grandson the Seraf of Mogielnica. The holy Maggid of Koznitz - R. Yisrael Hopstein (1737-1815, Encyclopedia of Chassidut II, pp. 542-548), was a foremost Rebbe and disseminator of Chassidism in Poland. Born in Opatów, he was allegedly named Yisrael at the behest of the Baal Shem Tov, who said that "the whole celestial entourage rejoiced in his joy". He was known from a young age as an outstanding Torah scholar. After his marriage, he became close to R. Shmelke of Nikolsburg (who served at the time as rabbi of Rychwał), who encouraged him to travel to the Maggid of Mezeritch (Mezhirichi). The latter relied on him to edit on his behalf kabbalistic books and siddurim (R. Yisrael Hopstein supposedly studied eight hundred kabbalistic books before approaching the Maggid of Mezeritch). After the Maggid's passing, he became a follower of R. Elimelech of Lizhensk (Leżajsk) and was considered one of his foremost disciples, to the extent he was said to have inherited from R. Elimelech his "power of heart". In 1765, he began serving a maggid of Koznitz, central Poland, and in 1786, thousands of chassidim began thronging his court, until he became recognized as one of the most prominent Rebbes of Poland. His disciples include renowned Rebbes: his grandson R. Chaim Meir Yechiel the "Seraf of Mogielnica"; R. Yaakov Tzvi Yalish (Yolles) of Dynów author of Melo HaRo'im; R. Yeshaya Muszkat of Praga; R. Itamar Wohlgelernter author of Mishmeret Itamar; R. Yechezkel of Kuzmir (Kazimierz Dolny); R. Yissachar Dov Ber of Radoshitz and R. Yitzchak Meir Alter the Chiddushei HaRim, who was raised in his home. 140, 145-180 leaves (lacking leaves 141-144). 21 cm. Good condition. Some light-blueish leaves. Stains. Wear and tears to several leaves. Original leather binding, with tears and damage, open tears to spine. Written according to the report of R. Yitzchak Yeshaya Weiss (enclosed).
