Two interesting notes in the margins of the pages, the author’s identity was not checked. Copies of this chumash are considered segula books, and foundational works of chassidut and kabbalah. These chumashim merited special appreciation from Admorim of all stripes (Zidichov, Sanz, the Rashab of Lubavitch and more). In a letter written by the author to residents of Ungvarn regarding the distribution of this work, the author wrote a special blessing and segula: “I have guaranteed that any who hold a copy of this Chumash in his home will be saved from all evil and from diseases and from lack; may his house be filled with blessings and good things and success and happiness and richness and long life.”
