Sefer Likutei Moharan, by Rabbi Nachman of Bratslav. Kama, [Bratslav, 1821 at rabbi Nathan of Bratslav printing press, second edition]. Tanina, [Mogilev 1811. First edition].
These books were set for print and printed by the person who dispersed the Torah of his teacher "a stream gushing from a source of wisdom" [in Hebrew: acronym of Nachman], Rabbi Nathan of Bratslav. He opened a special printing press in his home to print his teacher's books in holiness and purity, since he did not approve of the first printings due to the many mistakes of the initial printers that distorted the writings. In the book about the history of Rabbi Nathan, he writes of the hardships he suffered establishing the printing press: "¦Afterwards, when I came home, Hashem helped me and put wonderful thoughts into my heart until I merited that same year to establish the printing press and to print the books of our Rabbi, Likutei Moharan the First and Second and also the book of the Alphabet and Shemot HaTzaddikim - all with wonderful corrections and with wonderful and awesome new additions that revive the soul¦". Further on, he tells of the many difficulties in attaining paper [this is the reason that books from these printings are very rare, and they were printed on unprocessed paper (thick and soft) and not of uniform size] and the difficulties in receiving a government permit. In the end, the government closed the printing press and Rabbi Nathan had to flee the city.
On Volume Kama: Glosses and corrections in ancient handwriting (faded) from the time of printing, some are sources of the Zohar, [perhaps in the handwriting of Rabbi Nathan?].

Rabbi Yisrael Nisan Kupershtoch (1858-1930) son in law of the sister of Rebbe Yechiel, the first rebbe from Alexander. One of the eldest of the Chassidic Polish rabbis, he served in the rabbinate for more than forty years in Przysucha and in Makova and in 1925, he immigrated to Jerusalem, where he published his book of responsa Ani ben Pachma. See Item 299.
