Shaar HaTeshuvah VehaTefillah, Part I, regarding repentance and prayer, joy and bitterness, by Rebbe Dov Ber Shneuri of Lubavitch, the "Mitteler Rebbe". [Shklow, ca. 1830]. Second edition.
[2], 25; 65 leaves. 18 cm. Good-fair condition. Stains. Worming, affecting text. New leather binding.
In this copy, the place of printing was omitted from the title page.
The title page text is identical to that of the Shklow 1817 edition, besides the word "may he live" after the author's name, which was erased. Evidently, the book was printed after his passing in 1828. See A.M. Habermann, Shaarei Chabad, Alei Ayin, Jerusalem 1948-1952, p. 357, no. 272. Habermann also suggests that the book was not printed in Shklow.
