Although the title page states Shklov 1817, Vinograd maintains that this edition was actually printed in a different location in 1840. R. Dov Ber Schneerson (1773-1827), The Mittler Rebbe of Lubavitch, inherited the mantle of Chassidic leadership from his father, R. Shneur Zalman of Liadi, The Alter Rebbe. He was the first Rebbe of the dynasty to live in Lubavitch and had an immense influence on his Chasidim in particular and on communal Jewish life in Russia in general. He was a prolific author and his seforim are fundamentals of Chasidic thought. Vinograd [Russia-Poland] 165. [2], 25, 65 pages. 18.5 cm. Very fine-excellent condition. Some staining. Modern binding with a leather spine. Opening bid $200
