Sefer Likutei Maharil. "By our honorable master, teacher, and rabbi … Rabbi Yehudah Leib of Zaklikov and Zwickwast, primary disciple of Rabbi Elimelech, author of Noam Elimelech."
Lemberg, 1862, at the press of Zalman Leib Flekir and Partners. First edition.
First edition of the Sefer by one of the greatest disciples of Rebbi Elimelech of Lizhensk and subsequently the Chozeh of Lublin, Rebbi Yehudah Leib of Zaklikov. He opposed chassidism in his youth, but Rebbi Elimelech traveled specifically to persuade him to join chassidism.
For more about him see: Alfasi, Chassidut B, 30-31. The Sefer was published by the author’s grandson. In his approbation, Rebbi Chaim of Sanz writes that the author "was famed for his holiness and piety among the righteous pillars of the world of his time."
For further information on the Sefer see: Asheret, A, 1959, pages 481-483.
