Levushei Or Yekarot - Recanati on the Torah, by R. Menachem of Recanati, with the Even Yekara commentary by R. Mordechai Jaffe. Lviv, 1880.
The title page states that the book includes "Three Levushim" from the books of the Levush, but in fact, only the supercommentary to the Recanati was printed here.
Signature (in pencil) of Rebbe Eliezer Ze'ev Rosenbaum of Kretchnif: "Eliezer Ze'ev Rosenbaum son of R. Meir"; "Eliezer Ze'ev".
Rebbe Eliezer Ze'ev Rosenbaum of Kretchnif (murdered 1944; Encyclopedia L'Chassidut I, pp. 267-268), was appointed rebbe by his father Rebbe Meir at the young age of sixteen, and established his own Beit Midrash, first in Kretchnif (Crăciunești) and later in Sighet (Sighetu Marmației). He was reputed for his passionate prayers, recited with great fervor. He was renowned for the wonders and salvations he performed, and as a holy man whose blessings were always fulfilled. One of his sons was Rebbe David Moshe of Rechovot (1925-1969), who was renowned as a wonder-worker. This son testified that when his father was deported to the crematoriums in Auschwitz, he placed his hands on his head and roared: "I hereby declare that I am not leaving go of G-d even for a single moment" (Raza DeUvda, p. 25).
