1. Sefer Tiferet HaTzvi, Commentary on Tractate Beitza and Innovations on the Laws of Yoreh De’ah, By the holy Rabbi Uziel Meislish of Ryczywół, a disciple of the Maggid of Mezeritch.
First Edition. Zolkiew, 1803. Printed by Gershon Letteris.
The author, Rabbi Uziel Meislish (1744–1786), was a rabbi and rosh yeshiva in Ostrowiec, Ryczywół, and Neustadt. In his youth, he met the Baal Shem Tov and includes teachings in his seforim attributed to him: "…that I heard from the holy and pure man, our teacher Rabbi Yisrael Baal Shem Tov, of blessed memory." After the Baal Shem Tov’s passing, he became a disciple of Rebbi Dov Ber, the Great Maggid of Mezeritch, and maintained close relationships with the Maggid’s prominent disciples: Rebbi Levi Yitzchak of Berdichev, Rebbi Elimelech of Lizhensk, Rebbi Zusha of Anipoli, Rebbi Chaim Chaika of Amdur, Rebbi Menachem Mendel of Premishlan, Rabbi Pinchas Horowitz of Frankfurt (Haflaah), and Rebbi Shmuel Shmelke Horowitz, Av Beit Din of Ryczywół and Nikolsburg.

2. Complete Set of Midrash Rabot, Lemberg, 1809–1812, Printed by Rabbi Shlomo Yarish Rapoport.
A complete five-volume set of Midrash Rabot, Lemberg, 1809–1812, printed by Rabbi Shlomo Yarish Rapoport. Only the Shemot volume does not list Rabbi Shlomo Yarish as the printer on its title page.
This set is exceptionally rare, particularly as a complete set. It is not listed in Vinograd’s bibliography.
Printed at the press of Rabbi Shlomo Yarish Rapoport, where the holy sefer Noam Elimelech was also published. According to tradition, the workers in this printing press were righteous individuals from the Lamed-Vav Tzaddikim. This is noted in Rabbi B. Landa’s work HaRebbi R’ Elimelech MiLizhensk (Jerusalem, 1963, p. 311), which quotes an oral tradition (attributed to Rabbi Moshe Halberstam) describing the spiritual significance of Noam Elimelech printed by Rabbi Shlomo Yarish’s press: "It was printed by G-d-fearing workers who engaged in their printing with sanctity and purity, some of whom were among the 36 hidden righteous upon whom the world stands."
