Likutei Amarim Tanya, by HaAdmor HaZaken Rebbe Shneur Zalman of Liadi, the Baal HaTanya. Zhovkva, [1798].
The title page states: "Tanya, which is a book of collected writings… and we have added a touch… from the outstanding Torah scholar, the author, to explain the essence and topic of Teshuva, and this is a third part which was not included in the first edition printed in Slavita…" (the word Slavita is emphasized on the title page).
This edition is the second printing of the Tanya in the author's lifetime, and was presumably printed without his knowledge. This is the first edition to be printed outside Russia, and to contain chapters of Igeret HaTeshuva - Mahadura Kama at the end of the book (in Shklow 1806, the author published Igeret HaTeshuva Mahadura Batra).
The publisher R. Yaakov of Brody writes at the end of the book that he was repeatedly asked to undertake the printing of a new edition of this book, since the book was not available in his country (Galicia-Poland), due to the prohibition to export the book from Russia, where it was originally published.
The following statement appears before Igeret HaTeshuva (p. 67a): "Says the publisher: A precious gem was in my possession from the scholarly author, a manuscript booklet pertaining to repentance, and for the benefit of the public I have brought it to print".
This edition earned two important approbations from prominent rabbis. The first one from R. Moshe Tzvi Hirsh Meisels Rabbi of Zhovkva, and the second from R. Yitzchak HaLevi of Lviv, rabbi of Kraków (an elder rabbi of his generation, son-in-law of R. Aryeh Leib Rabbi of Amsterdam, and brother-in-law of R. Shaul Rabbi of Amsterdam).
R. Yitzchak Shimshon Meisels Rabbi of Czernowitz (Chernivtsi), grandson of R. Moshe Tzvi Hirsh, relates in his approbation to the siddur of the Baal HaTanya that he was present when his grandfather accorded his approbation to the Tanya.
The second approbation was given by R. Yitzchak HaLevi of Lviv, rabbi of Kraków, a foremost opponent of Chassidism. He was a leading signatory on the ban against Chassidim in Kraków in 1786, and the book Tzavaat HaRivash was burnt at his behest, while this book earned his effusive approbation, with profuse praise of the author and his book.
[3], 2-74 leaves. 18.5 cm. Good condition. Stains. Wear, damage and worming to final leaves, slightly affecting text. Minor worming to lower part of inner-margins of first leaves. Stamp on title page. New leather binding.

Bad Kodesh, two letters and Chassidic homily on Megillat Ruth, by the rebbes of Chabad. [Warsaw, 1871]. First edition.
The publisher states on the title page that the book is comprised of three compositions: 1. An appeal by the Baal HaTanya, R. Shneur Zalman of Liadi, addressed to Tsar Paul, during his incarceration in St. Petersburg. 2. A letter written by the Baal HaTanya to his colleague R. Levi Yitzchak of Berditchev, following his release from prison in St. Petersburg. 3. Homily on Megillat Ruth, based on Chabad teachings, by Rebbe Aharon HaLevi Horowitz of Starosel'ye, disciple of the Baal HaTanya.
In truth, the publisher erred as to the authorship of parts of this book:
The true author of the appeal at the beginning of the book, was R. Dov Ber Schneuri - the Mitteler Rebbe of Lubavitch - son of the Baal HaTanya, who wrote it to the ruler of Belarus after being imprisoned in Vitebsk in late 1825. The letter explains, according to Kabbalah, why it is preferable to be judged by the ruler, rather than a local court, since the former can attain the truth. In the letter, several kabbalistic concepts are explained in simple terms.
Likewise, it is unclear who authored the homily on Megillat Ruth. According to the publisher, this homily was composed by Rebbe Aharon of Starosel'ye, yet it also appears in Or HaTorah (on Neviim and Ketuvim, vol. II, p. 1028), by the Tzemach Tzedek of Lubavitch. Conversely, it must be noted that this homily was not included amongst the homilies on Shavuot in Avodat HaLevi by the Rebbe of Starosel'ye.
14 pages. 18 cm. Good condition. Stains. Worming to title page and other leaves, slightly affecting text (loss of a few letters), professionally restored. New binding.
Year of printing according to Wiener, Kehillat Moshe, p. 136, no. 1074.
