Jewish printed books Adam Yashar by Yitzhak Yehudah Yechiel, Lemberg, 1876
This text was prepared by William Gross:
This book is published with another by the same author, "Netzer Chessid". This volume, Adam Yahar deals with practical Kabbalah and contains a woodcut amulet at the end. The book is exceedingly rare with the amulet still in the book as in most cases it was removed and used. This amulet for deliverance from a plague was composed by Rebbe Yitzchak Isaac of Komarno.
This is the only edition of Adam Yashar, with prayers and segulot for deliverance from plagues was printed by its author together with his book Notzer Chesed on Tractate Avot. Lemberg, 1856. this book was printed following the epidemic of several severe plagues that took place in those days.
The last sheet of the book with a special amulet in the shape of a palm with Holy Names, has also frequently been printed separately. [Possibly, it was originally printed separately due to the demand for this amulet for protection from plagues].
