Tzemach Tzedek - Piskei Dinim - Vilna, 1884 - First Edition - Rare Copy with the Words "VeEinah Teshuvah" - Four Leaves of Omissions and Errata Found in Some Copies Only
Tzemach Tzedek - Piskei Dinim, novellae and halachic rulings following the order of the Tur, Shulchan Aruch and their commentators, by Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneersohn, the Tzemach Tzedek of Lubavitch. Vilna, 1884. First edition.
Two parts in one volume. Part I on Orach Chaim and Yoreh De'ah, Part II on Even HaEzer and Choshen Mishpat.
At the end of part II, there are two leaves with selections on various topics (leaves 69-70). On p. 69b, the Tzemach Tzedek quotes the Gaon of Vilna, remarking "VeEinah Teshuvah" (this is not a refutation). In most copies, the remark reads "I did not merit to understand his holy words". The Lubavitcher Rebbe explains that this censored remark was introduced by the printers in Vilna, and that when the first copies of the book reached Lubavitch, this leaf was hurriedly replaced by a corrected leaf, containing the original "VeEinah Teshuvah". The present copy is one of the rare copies with the replacement leaf.
