Likutim by R. Hai Gaon, compilation of important works composed by early Spanish kabbalists. [Warsaw: printer not indicated, 1798]. First edition. Approbation by the Maggid of Kozhnitz.

The book was printed with the encouragement of R. Yisrael, the Maggid of Kozhnitz, based on manuscripts in his collection.
The book includes the following works: Likutim by R. Hai Gaon – commentary on the 42-letter name; Shaar HaShamayim by R. Yosef Gikatilla; Likutei Shem Tov; Maamar Ploni Almoni on the Ten Sefirot and Holy Names; Prayer of R. Yaakov of Segovia; Sefer HaIyun by R. Chamai Gaon; Secrets by the kabbalist R. Yosef Gikatilla on the Mitzvot and Explanations to the Ramban's Torah secrets, by R. Shem Tov as heard from the Rashba.
The Likutim in this book were not actually composed by R. Hai Gaon. They were composed by R. Moshe of Burgos, a leading Spanish kabbalist in the 12th century, but since he quotes many traditions received from R. Hai Gaon, the work's title names R. Hai Gaon. Other works in this book were likewise erroneously attributed on the title page to other authors.
Folded Ilan Sefirot on leaf 36.
Ownership inscription on the back endpaper.

Menachem Tzion, Chassidic discourses on the Torah portions, by Rebbe Menachem Mendel of Rimanov, selected and transcribed by his close disciple Rebbe Yechezkel Panet, the Mareh Yechezkel. Lviv: U. W. Salat and Yaakov Meshulam Nik, 1878.

Segulah book – the title page of the book cites the blessing of the Rebbe of Deyzh (son of the Mareh Yechezkel): "May my father's merit bring upon us and upon whoever buys this book bountiful blessing, success and everything good, Amen". This blessing is worded differently in his approbation on the reverse side of the title page: "It is known to all that when the Rebbe delivered teachings on the Torah section of the manna, he brought bounties of goodness upon the Jewish people. And may it be G-d's will for the Rebbe's merit to bring upon us and all of Israel bounties of goodness, children, life and sustenance".
Rebbe Yekutiel Yehudah Teitelbaum, the Yitav Lev of Sighet, writes in his approbation: "And may the Rebbe's merit protect us and whoever buys this holy book, and may heaven open for him bountiful blessing and success, children, life and sustenance".
R. Yitzchak Horowitz of Szczucin reportedly said that "most of the book Menachem Tzion by the Rebbe of Rimanov deals with the Torah section of the manna, because the holy Rebbe of Rimanov prayed often for the Jewish people's sustenance" (HaChochmah MeAyin, Bnei Brak 1996, p. 87). To this day, people all over the world visit the Rebbe of Rimanov's gravesite to pray for sustenance.
On title page, stamps of R. "Chaim Tzvi Ehrenreich, Batei Ungarn, Jerusalem".
On endpaper, signature (in pencil) of R. Yehoshua Ehrenreich, Rabbi of Șimleu Silvaniei. On the same page, copying of Torah novellae "in the name of R. Mendel of Deyzh".
Handwritten inscription on last leaf: "Yosef Moshe Kohen, Deyzh".
R. Yehoshua Ehrenreich (ca. 1890-1959), son of R. Shlomo Zalman Ehrenreich, Rabbi of Békéscsaba and Șimleu Silvaniei. Served as Rabbi of Șimleu Silvaniei and Medieșu Aurit after the Holocaust, immigrated to Jerusalem and published his father's writings.
