DERECH MITZVOSECHA/TA’AMEI HAMITZVOS. MAGNIFICENT HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT 1866! - DERECH MITZVOSECHA/TA’AMEI HAMITZVOS. MAGNIFICENT HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT 1866! One of the most fundamental seforim in Chabad is sefer Derech Mitzvosecha/Ta’amei HaMitzvos authored by The Tzemach Tzedeck. The sefer explains at length the underlying reasons of the Mitzvos according to the Kabbalistic and Chassidic teachings as taught by the Ba’al Shem Tov and The Alter Rebbe. Although The Tzemach Tzedeck was niftar in 1866 this sefer was not actually printed until 1911. This manuscript which is dated on the title page 1866 refers to “Admor Shlita”.  Written on high quality paper in a neat Ashkenazic script by an unidentified scribe ( not The Tzemach Tzedeck himself). On a number of pages there are brief glosses in a different handwriting.  89 double sided pages followed by an additional 20 pages with various addenda seemingly in a different handwriting.  28 cm. Excellent condition. Custom binding, reinforced spine. Opening bid $1000
