Birchas David by the Admor of Buczacz,
Lvov, 1845. First Edition
Chassidic explanations on Bereishis by the Admor Rabbi Avraham David Wahrman, Av Beis Din of Buczacz.
Rabbi Avraham David Wahrman of Buczacz (1771-1841) was a prominent Halachic authority and leading Chassidic Rebbe of his generation. His Torah discourses would stretch for hours and his prayers would go on until midday. Similarly, shalosh seudos would sometimes only conclude close to morning. Rabbi Avraham David authored the sefer Birchas David on Torah, his biggest and most prominent work, along with many other sefarim.
Interestingly, while the title page states that this sefer was published in 1800 along with the Hebrew date for 1805, in reality, it was published later, in 1845. The reason for this alteration is likely due to strict censorship introduced by the ‘Enlightenment’ movement’s vehement opposition of the Chassidic movement during that time.
For this and several other typographical changes in the sefer’s title page see: Yaari, The Printing House of Rebbetzin Yehudit Rosanish, Kiryat Sefer 17 p. 107.
