Likutei Muharan: First Complete Edition Published in the Home of Rabbi Nathan in Bresslov, 1821
First complete edition of Likutei Muharan authored by Rabbi Nachman of Bresslov, published in Breslov, 1821.
The first part of the sefer was published in 1808 and included 286 articles, while the second part was published in 1811 and included 125 articles. The present edition, published in 1821 in Rabbi Nathan home, is the first publishing of the two parts together.
Rabbi Natan risked his life by publishing the sefer in his home. Being that it was done without a censorship license.
This edition includes a mareh mekomos and a longer introduction, as well as endorsements that had already been given in 1808, which Rabbi Nachman in his great humility had refused to publish.
All later editions were published based on this first complete set.
