Proofreading sheets for printing the book “Reshimot Al Megilat Eicha - Miluim” [Notes on Megillat Eichah – Addenda] by Rebbe, author of Tzemach Tzedek, with glosses and corrections in the handwriting of Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneersohn, the Lubavitch-Chabad Rebbe.
Proofreading sheet, cut into seven long narrow paper strips. On one side, all the pages of the book are printed (the sheet had secondary use; on its verso is a printed draft of another work). On all leaves are penciled glosses, additions and corrections in the Rebbe's handwriting, which were revised and added to the final edition of the book published in 1952.
Notes by the Rebbe, author of Tzemach Tzedek on Megillat Eichah were printed in 1951 [in the book Or HaTorah on Nevi'im and Ketuvim, Vol. 2], as part of the notable undertaking of publishing the writings and teachings of the Tzemach Tzedek which was hastened by the leadership and encouragement of the Rebbe. this book with the addenda was printed to complete the Rebbe's notes on Eichah after he received the "bichel" (handwritten notebook) with entries on Eichah which were not printed. In the introduction which the Rebbe added to the book [not found in these sheets], he writes: "Sometime after the printing of the 'notes on Megillat Eichah' by the Rebbe, the Tzemach Tzedek, I came across a 'bichel' with his teachings, in the handwriting of a copier, apparently a copy of the 'bichel' on the Five Megillot, with several notes on Megillat Eichah which were not printed last year, and I am now publishing them in this pamphlet. Also printed here is “Sarati BaMedinot which I have found…Menachem Schneersohn".
