A facsimile edition of portions of this very manuscript was published in 1945 under the title Likutei Torah-Torath Shmuel with an introduction by the future Lubavitcher Rebbe R. Menachem Mendel who states that it was written in the hand of “R. Shmuel Sofer, Rosh HaMa’atikim Bezmano.” The final two leaves are in an earlier hand and contain a Ma’amar from the Alter Rebbe from 1805.
