Likutei Moharan Tinyana – First Edition – Mohyliv, 1811 – Segulah Book
Likutei Moharan Tinyana, by R. Nachman of Breslov. Mohyliv, 1811. First edition.
Likutei Moharan Tinyana contains the teachings of R. Nachman of Breslov from 1808-1810 – from the publishing of the first part of Likutei Moharan (Ostroh 1808), until his passing on Sukkot 1810. The book was compiled and brought to press by his close disciple R. Natan of Breslov (Moharnat) within the year of mourning following the passing of R. Nachman.
In his foreword, R. Natan writes: "These are his later teachings, which he innovated and revealed after his book was completed. And that which we heard from him from that day until his passing, is recorded in this book".
In his memoirs in Yemei Moharnat, R. Natan describes at length the publishing of this book. Already in the initial days following the publication of the first part, R. Nachman asserted: "We must compose another book, which will be even finer and more beautiful than the first one". Upon revealing a new Torah thought, R. Nachman informed R. Natan: "This will be in the second book". R. Natan further relates of all the hardships and obstacles he encountered while publishing this book, "until the printing was finally completed in the summer of 1811... and I brought the finished books to Uman for the first Rosh Hashanah following R. Nachman's passing. Many saw and rejoiced".
The first part of this composition was printed in the lifetime of R. Nachman, who spoke extensively about his book and its power to confer holiness and purity on whoever studies it, saying that the book can grant a person superior intellect, since it contains exceptional and profound wisdom, and that studying the book could influence a person to complete repentance (Chayei Moharan, 347, 349). He informed his disciple R. Natan: "You know a little of this book's magnitude of greatness and holiness, but more so should you believe in its greatness" (Chayei Moharan, 369). R. Nachman also described the great importance of buying this book, asserting that every person should endeavor to purchase the book, and that anyone who could not afford it, should sell the pillow from under his head to buy the book (Chayei Moharan, 349). He predicted that the book would be in high demand and reprinted many times (ibid). Furthermore, R. Nachman declared that just having his book in one's house is very beneficial for the protection of property, and urged wealthy people to buy his book to safeguard their fortune (Chayei Moharan, 355).
