Sefer Irin Kadishin, "Holy, elevated thoughts on the Torah, and other precious compilations…", by R. Yisrael Friedman, Rebbe of Ruzhyn, with compilations by his son, R. Avraham Yaakov Friedman of Sadigura (Sadhora). Warsaw, 1885.
Two title pages, the second printed in gold ink.
Following the title pages, the publisher explains that he did not seek approbations for this work in order to avoid impinging on the honor of the great R. Yisrael: "I refrained from seeking approbations for this work as is customary, for how could I possibly do so without detracting from the honor of or master and leader, the great R. Yisrael?...". However, this copy does contain an approbation on a separate paper attached to the book. This paper was probably not added to the entire printing but only to select volumes. In this copy, it is added after the second title page. On this page the printer writes: "This volume was brought to Sadhora where it was shown to the great R. Yitzchak and R. Yisrael who approved of the work, at which point it was accepted into all Jewish homes with great rejoicing".
