Manuscript ("bichel"), written by various copyists – copyings of Chassidic discourses delivered and recorded by rebbes of Chabad: Rebbe Shneur Zalman of Liadi – the Baal HaTanya; Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneersohn – the Tzemach Tzedek; Rebbe Shmuel Schneersohn – the Maharash; Rebbe Chaim Shneur Zalman Schneersohn of Liadi; and Rebbe Shlomo Zalman Schneersohn – the Magen Avot of Kopust. [Russia, ca. 1870s-1890s].
Many of the discourses in this "bichel" are from the Tzemach Tzedek, and were later published in Derech Mitzvotecha. Others are from Rebbe Shlomo Zalman Schneersohn of Kopust (1830-1900), the Magen Avot, recorded by one of his listeners. To the best of our knowledge, some of these discourses were not published in the seven parts of Magen Avot, and some were published there in different wording.
Some of the discourses are incomplete (lacking leaves).
[184] leaves. Size varies. Condition varies, good to fair condition. Stains, wear and open tears, some affecting text. Detached leaves. Old binding, damaged.
