Description
   Published by two Chassidic Rebbes, R. Solomon b. Abraham of Lusk and R. Simeon b. Judah Loeb Ashkenazi. Additionally several important textual variations occur. In volume 4 (p. 222) the text identifies the evil haunting the Jewish nation as Jesus and Mohamed. This statement does not appear in the Mantua (1558) first edition, while the Cremona (1558) second edition and the Sulzbach (1684) third edition contain a blank space where this statement should appear.
          
Paragraph 2    ... כפי אשר נדפס באמשטרדם [תפ"ח] דף על דף ... במצות ובהוצאות הני תרי ... ר' שמעון במהו' יהודא ליב אשכנזי. והשני ... ר' שלמה בהנגיד מוהרר אברהם מלויצק יצ"ו ... חלק א-ד. דפוס צבי הירש בן ארי' ליב וחתנו שמואל בן ישכר בער סגל. בשנת כי שם ח'ל'ק'ת' מחוקק ספון.
