The title page does not state the place of printing, and the date given is 1809 (impossible date, since R. Nachman of Breslov, who passed away in 1811, is mentioned on the title page as deceased). Bibliographers differ as to the date and place of publication: Lviv, Zhovkva or Korets. R. Natan Tzvi König (Neve Tzaddikim, Bnei Brak 1969, p. 41) writes: Lviv, ca. 1830; while Rosenthal (Yode'a Sefer) and Zedner record: Korets, 1809.
