Siddur Torah Or
The Siddur compiled by the Alter Rebbe R. Shneur Zalman of Liadi - Siddur HaRav, was printed during his lifetime in several editions, in Shklow and Kopust. From the passing of the Baal HaTanya, until 1886, the Siddur was reprinted in dozens of editions. In many of the editions, the printers were not particular to preserve the accurate text of the prayers and laws, and in some editions, they combined the text of Siddur HaRav with texts of other prevalent Siddurim.
In the 1880s, R. Avraham David Lavut, Rabbi of Nikolayev (Mykolaiv; maternal grandfather of the Lubavitcher Rebbe), began studying and researching the original text of Siddur HaRav. To that end, he searched for editions of the Siddur published in the lifetime of the Baal HaTanya. Upon finding such a Siddur, he set to work proofreading and correcting the text of Siddur HaRav, according to the accurate siddur version he found. In 1886 he printed the Siddur HaRav in Vilna under a new title – "Siddur Torah Or".
The Siddur published by R. Lavut was supplemented by two of his own compositions: "Shaarei Tefillah", focusing on the sources, versions, traditions and customs upon which the Alter Rebbe based his Siddur, and "Netiv HaChayim", which compares between contradicting rulings in "Derech HaChayim" by the Gaon of Lissa, and the Alter Rebbe's Siddur and Shulchan Aruch.
Siddur Tefillah with Torah Or and Shaarei Tefillah, according to the Arizal Nusach. Vilna: Widow and Brothers Romm, 1889.
Two parts in one volume. Two title pages to Torah Or and a separate title page to Shaarei Tefillah; first title page printed in red and blue ink.
Siddur Torah Or is considered to be the most accurate and reliable version of Siddur HaRav – the Baal HaTanya's Siddur. Siddur Torah Or was compiled and revised by Rabbi Avraham David Lavut, Rabbi of Nikolayev, who added his own compositions Shaarei Tefillah and Netiv HaChayim. At the head of Torah Or Siddur appears an approbation by Rabbi Yehuda Leib of Janowitz, brother of the Baal HaTanya, originally written for the Kopust 1823 edition. Following the title page is Rabbi Avraham David Lavut's renowned foreword written for his work Shaarei Tefillah.

The present Siddur is a stereotype print of the 1889 edition, identical except for the year of publication indicated on the title page. The author, who passed shortly before the printing, is still mentioned with the blessing for the living.

Yet the same occurred once again. As soon as the 1889 edition was published, R. Lavut obtained a third siddur edition published in the lifetime of the Baal HaTanya, and began preparing a third, updated edition of Siddur Torah Or. This third edition was only published after the passing of R. Lavut (Adar 1890), in Vilna 1896, and it includes the latter's illustrious work – Shaar HaColel.
The Siddur, published by R. Lavut, was supplemented by two of his own compositions: "Shaar HaKollel" (later enlarged edition of "Shaarei Hatefillah"), focusing on the sources, versions, traditions and customs, upon which the Alter Rebbe based his Siddur, and "Netiv HaChayim", which compares between contradicting rulings in "Derech HaChayim" by the Gaon of Lissa, and the Alter Rebbe's Siddur and Shulchan Aruch.

Rabbi Landau's Approbation
Rabbi Yosef Landau was a disciple of the Ohev Yisrael of Apta, and after his death became a close disciple of Rebbe Yisrael of Ruzhin. A decade before this book was published, a fierce dispute developed between the Chabad community in Yas and the Chassidim of the Ohev Yisrael of Apta (then rabbi of the city), who strongly opposed the Chabad approach. In 1834, Rebbe Yisrael of Ruzhin visited the city and made peace between the two sides. This may be what led to the warm approbation accorded by R. Yosef Landau to the book by Rebbe Shneur Zalman of Liadi.

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.
Two books in one volume: 18.5 cm. Good condition. Stains, including dark stains. Creases and wear. Minor worming. Leaves trimmed, affecting text margins in some places. New binding (imprint on spine: "Vienna"; Hebrew).
Sefer Igrot HaKodesh, by Rebbe Shneur Zalman of Liadi – the Baal HaTanya. [Lviv, 1860].
This edition was printed line by line after the 1850 Zhovkva edition; it also appeared together with the Sefer HaTanya edition printed in Lviv that same year.
[28] ff. 19 cm. Good condition. Stains. Minor wear. Minor marginal tears. Leaves trimmed unevenly. Unopened sheet. New leather binding.
