Sefer Shnei HaMeorot, Chassidic essays, by Rebbe Shneur Zalman of Liadi – the Baal HaTanya and Shulchan Aruch. Lviv: Karl Budweiser, [1882]. Only edition.

Short Chassidic Maamarim (oral discourses) by the Alter Rebbe, dating to the period the Alter Rebbe resided in Liozna (Belarus), before his imprisonment in Petersburg.

These discourses were taken down by the Alter Rebbe's Son, Rabbi Dov Ber, the Mitteler Rebbe of Lubavitch. The name of the Alter Rebbe does not appear on the title page of the present edition, therefore, some attribute the book to the Mitteler Rebbe himself.

48 ff. Approx. 18 cm. Good condition. Stains and minor wear. Minor marginal tears, some enforced with paper and clear tape.

"Order of prayers according to the Arizal Nusach". Two parts: Part I – Shacharit LeChol, Seder Seudah UVerachot, Seder Irusin VeKiddushin, Seder Milah, Tikun Chatzot; Part II – prayers for Shabbat, Rosh Chodesh and festivals, accompanied by Chassidic homilies and various rulings, by Rebbe Shneur Zalman of Liadi, the Baal HaTanya and Shulchan Aruch. Warsaw: R. Nathan Schriftgiesser, 1866-1867. Two parts in two volumes.

The text of the Siddur, the rulings and the two Chassidic essays (HaKol Kol Yaakov and He'ara LeTikkun Chatzot) were compiled and composed by the Baal HaTanya. The other Chassidic discourses (commentaries to the prayers) were delivered by the Baal HaTanya and recorded by his son R. Dov Ber, the Mitteler Rebbe of Lubavitch. This siddur is known amongst Chabad Chassidim as Siddur im Dach (Divrei Elokim Chaim – words of the Living G-d).

Signature and inked stamps of the collector R. Pinchas Berzaze of Maków Mazowiecki (Poland), in the second volume.

Two books bound together:

* Likutei Amarim – Tanya, by Rebbe Shneur Zalman of Liadi. [Warsaw: after 1856]. The present edition is based on the 1856 Lviv edition (without the approbations). The present edition was revised under the strain of censorship, containing more omissions than the 1856 Lviv edition.

False Place of Publication

In the present edition, the place of publication is indicated on the title page margins as "Wien" [Vienna]. According to Bibliographer R. Chaim Lieberman, books printed in Warsaw often bore false places of publication, such as Königsberg, Czernowitz, Pressburg, Wien, Lvov, and others; these books' designs are easily discernable [e.g. ornaments printed in the present Tanya edition are very similar to those found in the 1866 Warsaw edition of "Avodath HaLevi", printed by F. Baumriter and I. Rotblat (Mondshine, Sefer HaTanya, Bibliography, p. 86, footnote 1)].

[1], 2-24, 18-21, 29-44 ff. Signatures of R. Elimelech Shapira on the cover and endpapers. Mondshine, Sefer HaTanya, Bibliography, 18/I, pp. 86 onwards.

* Sefer Torat Chesed, selections on the Torah portions using various approaches of interpretation, by R. Avraham Mordechai of Lutsk, close disciple of the Ohev Yisrael of Apta and disciple of the Chozeh of Lublin. Warsaw, 1866. First edition.

[2], 2-26 ff. Missing [2] leaves at end of volume.

Two books in one volume: 18.5 cm. Good condition. Stains, including dark stains. Creases and wear. Minor worming. Leaves trimmed, affecting text margins in some places. New binding (imprint on spine: "Vienna"; Hebrew).
