1. Sefer Shem Shmuel – Kabbalistic Sermons on the Weekly Torah Portions, Revealing Mysteries and Explanations of Torah, by the renowned Kabbalist Rabbi Shmuel ben Moshe, Chief Rabbi of Sislovitch.
First Edition. Frankfurt an der Oder, 1699, by Michael Gottschalk.
An exceedingly rare early Kabbalistic work, appearing only twice at auction.
Gershom Scholem writes about the author: "The author was known as a Baal Shem. A book of charms and remedies by Rabbi Shmuel, author of Shem Shmuel, was written in 1701. Found in manuscript in Rabinowitz List 9, Munich 1886, item 62."
In his introduction, the author states that he divided his work into two parts: Yad Shmuel and Shem Shmuel, and is now publishing a summary of "my work and writings." Although arranged according to the Torah portions, much of it is "based on the Book of Psalms." He also includes "in each section" insights from his father.
Antique, partially erased signatures on the title page.
