Likutei Amarim – Tanya, by R. Shneur Zalman of Liadi – the Baal HaTanya. Brooklyn NY: Kehot Publication Society, 1982.
Special edition of the Tanya (edition 164), printed in honor of the eightieth birthday of the Lubavitcher Rebbe – 11th Nissan 1982, containing pictures of the title pages of all editions of the Tanya printed up until then, and facsimiles of Tanya Mahadura Kama manuscripts.
This edition was distributed by the rebbe at the Hitvaadut on 11th Nissan 1982 together with a dollar for charity – the present lot includes only the Tanya, without the dollar.
Received by Mrs. Golda Chaya Deutsch.
Towards the end of the Hitvaadut, which lasted five hours, the rebbe explained the idea behind the publication of the present Tanya edition: in order to hasten the coming of the Mashiach, it was suggested to print the title pages of all the Tanya books ever printed throughout the world in one volume; and moreover, to study the Tanya so intensely, as to wear out the book, thereby necessitating the printing of additional editions.
[5], 334, [3] ff. 18 cm. Good condition. Minor stains. Light rubbing to cover. Spine blemished and detached.
