Imrei Noam. Two Parts, Przemyśl, 1877-1878. First Edition, Pedigreed Copy

Specifications: [2], 120; 88, [5] leaves, 24 cm. Two title pages. First edition. Stefansky, Chassidut 58. "A small foreword" is at the beginning of the book by his son and successor, the Admor Rabbi Yehoshua Horowitz of Dzikov, who published the book.
Background: The author Rabbi Meir Horowitz [1819-1877] was the son of the Admor Rabbi Eliezer of Dzikov and grandson of Rabbi Naftali of Ropshitz. Served as rabbi and later as Admor of Dzikov, he was the in-law of the "Divrei Chaim" of Sanz.

The Admor Rabbi Menachem Dovber of Sadigura [1843-1883] owned a large library, and stamped the books according to their origins. The book before us is stamped 'minchat shai,' meaning that he received the book as a gift from his followers.
