Torah Or – Kopys, 1836 – First Edition
Torah Or, Part 1, compilation of discourses on Bereshit, Shemot and Megillat Esther. Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi [Admor HaZaken (elder Rebbe) of Chabad]. Kopys, 1836. First edition edited and prepared for print by the Rebbe, author of Tzemach Tzedek [based on a manuscript by Rabbi Yehuda Leib (the Maharil) of Yanovichi, brother of the Admor HaZaken].
Two title pages. First is short and the second is detailed. Part of the text in both title pages was printed in red ink. The Russian government closed the Hebrew publishing house in Tevet 1937, therefore only the first part of the work was printed [on Bereshit, Shemot and Megillat Esther] and not as written in the second title page [i.e. on the rest of the Chumash, Shir HaShirim and on the festivals].
[1], 187 leaves. Last leaf with "list of mistakes and corrections" is lacking in this copy. 20 cm. Good condition. Stains, moth damages. Ownership inscriptions and stamp. Ancient leather binding, damaged.
Stephansky Chassidut, no. 610.
