Lot 142:
Folded leaf with 2 written pages apparently handwritten by the Gaon Rabbi Yehuda Leib Av Beit Din and Ram of Busk. The content is from his famed book Lev Aryeh (Willhelmsdorf, 1674), with many textual variations and erasures that look and match the author’s autographic style, time and period. Apparently, Rabbeinu wrote the sermon to be delivered at the Beit Midrash and later, when edited for the book, it was expanded and things were added to it.
[1] folded leaf, 2 pp. ca. 21.5X16 cm. (every page).
The first edition of Rabbeinu’s book Lev Aryeh is extremely rare. Manuscripts by him are almost unattainable. This is a real treasure by a foremost Gedol Yisrael, the father of the Oheil-Siget-Satmar dynasty.

The Rav of Busk for many years. His introduction to his book is a lesson in modesty. His son, Moshe, who published his father’s books was the father-in-law of Rabbi Shmuel Loftiner of Brody. Rabbeinu the Yismach Moshe wrote of him: "אדוני זקני הרב המפורסים המופלג מו"ה שמואל לאפשנער…".
