¥"仁著¥" is not a phrase. The phrase boundary should be between ¥"仁¥" and ¥"著¥".
¥"山田仁¥" is a name. ¥"山田¥" (Yamada) is one of the popular Japanese family names. ¥"山¥" means ¥"mountain¥", and ¥"田¥", ¥"paddle¥".
On the other hand, ¥"仁¥" is a popular given name. For a given name, it is ¥"Hitoshi¥" in most cases, but another possible pronunciation for this is ¥"Jin¥", a Sino-Japanese pronunciation. In fact, a Japanese actor, 中山仁, is Jin Nakayama.
¥"著¥" means ¥"to write¥". As a verb, its pronunciation is ¥"arawasu¥" (著わす: a Yamato-Japanese pronunciation), and, in a Sino-Japanese pronunciation, it is ¥"cho¥". This character is often added to an author¥'s name. So, ¥"Written by Hitoshi [Jin] Yamada¥", ¥"Author: Hitoshi [Jin] Yamada¥", or ¥"Writer: Hitoshi [Jin] Yamada¥" would be the most possible answers, which you will often find on the front cover of English books.

The answera above are specifically for ¥"山田仁著¥", but, for ¥"山田仁著より¥", ¥"from a book by Hitoshi [Jin] Yamada¥". ¥"より¥" is a postposition which means ¥"from¥". I guess that the expression above appears when there is a quotation from that book.
