Sefer ‘Yeshuot Yaakov’ on Orach Cahim authored by Rabbi Yaakov Orenstein abd Lemberg (no cover sheet). Appearing on the first page is the hand signature of the great Gaon the ‘Malbim’ Rabbi Meir Leibish, from the time he lived in Kampen: "מאיר לייבוש מלבים חופ"ק קעמפען".
Another signature appearing on the first page (hand writting looks different from the Malbim’s) :"קניתי בירח אב תרח"ם (?) סלאק"…
The holy Malbim, Rabbi Meir Leibish [1809-1879], from the great sages of the later generation, illumination of the Jewish Nation, renowned as a great scholar, who fearlessly fought the holy battle against the Maskilim and reformers. In his youth he was known as the "Volhynia Prodigy", he learned Torah by Rabbi Shlomo Zalmen Tiktin and by the ‘Saar Bait HaZohar’ the holy Rabbi Tzvi Hirsch of Zidichov. During his youth he authored the sefer ‘Artzot HaChaim’ on Shilchon Aruch Orach Chaim, and merited enthusiastic endorsements from Rabbanim of that time. Served as Rav in several communities. At the time of his Rabbanut in the city of Bucharest he suffered much harassment from the Maskilim which has brought to his expulsion from Romania to Bulgaria, from there he roamed many communities. (Some of the persecution he suffered was after his commentaries on Tanach became known being rumored as Haskalah.)
