Kitzur Likutei Moharan, "filled with ethics, fear of G-d, good, correct, wonderful and awesome practices, which emerge from the remarkable essays printed in Likutei Moharan", from the teachings of R. Nachman of Breslov, edited by his disciple R. Natan Sternhartz – Moharnat of Breslov. [Breslov (Bratslav): printed in the home of R. Natan, 1821]. Second edition.
This book contains selections of practical worship of G-d, which R. Natan compiled from the book Likutei Moharan of his illustrious teacher. The entries in this book follow the order of their appearance in Likutei Moharan (rather than alphabetical order, as in Likutei Etzot). This book was published after the passing of R. Nachman, but R. Natan began writing it already in R. Nachman's lifetime, in 1805.
The first edition of the book was printed by R. Natan in Mohilev (Mohyliv-Podilskyi) in summer 1811, during the year of mourning following the passing of his teacher. This edition was printed a decade later, in the printing press which R. Natan established in his home in Breslov (R. Natan set it up in 1819, and it was shut down in 1824 after being reported to the authorities). In this edition, several lines were added to the preface in parentheses.
86 leaves. Lacking last leaf (replaced in photocopy). 12.5 cm. Good condition. Some stains. Final leaves trimmed close to text, and with small marginal tears. New binding.
Stefansky Chassidut, no. 525.
