Tanya – Edition Distributed by the Lubavitcher Rebbe in Honor of His Eightieth Birthday - Brooklyn, 11th Nissan 1982
Likutei Amarim Tanya, by R. Shneur Zalman of Liadi – the Baal HaTanya. Brooklyn NY, Kehot Publication Society, 1982.
This edition was distributed by the rebbe at the Hitvaadut on 11th Nissan 1982 together with a dollar for charity – the present lot includes only the Tanya, without the dollar.
Handwritten inscription inside front board: "From the Rebbe, eve of 12th Nissan 1982". With signature of recipient.
Special edition of the Tanya (edition 164), printed in honor of the eightieth birthday of the Lubavitcher Rebbe – 11th Nissan 1982, and distributed by the rebbe to the participants of the Hitvaadut on that occasion. Towards the end of the Hitvaadut, which lasted five hours, the rebbe explained the idea of this Tanya edition – in order to hasten the coming of Mashiach, it was suggested to print all the Tanya books ever printed throughout the world, in one volume. Indeed, this book contains pictures of the title pages of all editions of the Tanya printed up until then, and facsimiles of Tanya Mahadura Kama manuscripts.
[5], 334, [3] leaves. 18 cm. Good condition. Creases and minor damage. Tear to endpaper. Original binding, with two fabric bookmarks. Binding partially detached (back board attached to endpapers with strip of tape). Tears and damage to spine.
