Two books bound together:

* Likutei Amarim – Tanya, by Rebbe Shneur Zalman of Liadi. [Warsaw: after 1856]. The present edition is based on the 1856 Lviv edition (without the approbations). The present edition was revised under the strain of censorship, containing more omissions than the 1856 Lviv edition.

False Place of Publication

In the present edition, the place of publication is indicated on the title page margins as "Wien" [Vienna]. According to Bibliographer R. Chaim Lieberman, books printed in Warsaw often bore false places of publication, such as Königsberg, Czernowitz, Pressburg, Wien, Lvov, and others; these books' designs are easily discernable [e.g. ornaments printed in the present Tanya edition are very similar to those found in the 1866 Warsaw edition of "Avodath HaLevi", printed by F. Baumriter and I. Rotblat (Mondshine, Sefer HaTanya, Bibliography, p. 86, footnote 1)].

[1], 2-24, 18-21, 29-44 ff. Signatures of R. Elimelech Shapira on the cover and endpapers. Mondshine, Sefer HaTanya, Bibliography, 18/I, pp. 86 onwards.

* Sefer Torat Chesed, selections on the Torah portions using various approaches of interpretation, by R. Avraham Mordechai of Lutsk, close disciple of the Ohev Yisrael of Apta and disciple of the Chozeh of Lublin. Warsaw, 1866. First edition.

[2], 2-26 ff. Missing [2] leaves at end of volume.
