Also: "The rabbi smoothed his beard... and said, I will tell you something in the name of its originator, the genius, author of Yeshuot Yaakov... as it is said in the Gemara: whoever says something in the name of its originator brings redemption to the world, and because many books are written and the originator is not mentioned, there is no end" - Agnon, Upon the Handles of the Lock, In Our Youth and in Our Old Age, 270)
