Chassidic Raziel HaMalach. Segulah Book. First Edition of Hagahot HaMaggid MiKozhnitz, Warsaw, 1812 - ”The magnitude of its virtues and segulah and intense powers and great successes are known to all ... As one who looks at the serpent and lives, Hashem will maintain endless blessing for him ...” (from the Maggid of Kozhnitz's approbation to this edition) The Chassidic  Raziel HaMalach is an early Kabbalistic sefer , attributed to the angel Raziel, that was given to Adam HaRishon. This is the first edition with glosses and elucidations by the Maggid of Kozhnitz, who initiated and encouraged its printing and even crowned the book with a lengthy and glowing approbation. Warsaw, 1812. Printed on the title page: ”I was hastened by the G-dly Kabbalist, wonder of the generation ... the true pious and renowned Maggid of Kozhnitz ... He treated me kindly in that he sent me the glosses and some additional elucidations ... that can be found written on the sides of the sheets of this book, written in his very own hand, and as explained in his approbation, were written in his own hand ...” This is followed by the Maggid of Kozhnitz's approbation, which was printed on an entire page (without other approbations) wherein the maggid tells of the book's virtues and its segulah value. The book Raziel HaMalach deals with scholarly and practical Kabbalah. It is the first sefer known as a segulah sefer , as noted on the title page of its first edition (Amsterdam, 1701): ”And for the entire Jewish people it is an effective segulah for seeing wise and understanding descendants, and for success and blessing, and to extinguish fires in one's home and that no demon nor damager live in his residence. One who has this awesome and honorable book hidden with his gold and silver in his safe, and in his illness and time of distress, it will be a quick salvation, and he will attest to this and tell all the Torah observant.” The problem was that over the years, and due to the lack of printers' familiarity and knowledge of sacred Names that fill this book from beginning to end, many errors and terrible mistakes occurred in the Holy Names. These mistakes blemished the book's wondrous segulah powers. Until the Maggid of Kozhnitz arose. He was famous in his generation as a tremendous expert in Kabbalistic wisdom (as is known, there are many glosses by him about the Ar”i's intentions for shofar blowing, as were printed at the end of Siddur R' Shabbetai MiRashkov) . This edition recovered the sefer 's former glory through the maggid's glosses and insights. This facilitates all the segulahs (nachat, success, protection from fires, protection of finances, healing and salvation in times of distress) attributed to this book to perform as required. This edition with the glosses by the Maggid of Kozhnitz quickly became so sought-after that many later editions of Raziel HaMalach  are printed with indications from the printers on the title pages that the sefer  includes the glosses from the Maggid of Kozhnitz - despite them actually being printed without the Maggid's glosses. This is the first true edition with the maggid of Kozhnitz's glosses which were printed from his manuscript (as noted in the foreword) and especially blessed by him (as noted in his approbation).
