Likutei Amarim Tanya, by R. Shneur Zalman of Liadi, the Baal HaTanya. Zhovkva, [after 1805].
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…" (Slavita emphasized on title page).
The Tanya was first published by the author in Slavita, 1796. The second edition was printed in Zhovkva, 1798 (see previous item), and then again in a third edition in Zhovkva, 1805, followed by several variants (this variant was listed in R. Y. Mondschein's bibliography as the fifth edition of the Tanya). These Zhovkva editions were printed during the author's lifetime, presumably without his knowledge. The approbations were omitted in this edition. The chapters of Igeret HaTeshuva – Mahadura Kama were included at the end of the book.
The publisher R. Yaakov of Brody writes at the end of the book that many asked him to undertake printing 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 topics of repentance, and for the benefit of the public I have brought it to print".
