Likkutei Amarim Tanya, Vienna [Warsaw, c. 1856]. Signature of the Gaon Rabbi Yechiel Michel HaKohen ABD Zakroczym. - Sefer Tanya: “Part I, known as Sefer shel Beinonim, and Part II, known as Chinuch Katan, ” including Iggeret HaTeshuvah and Iggeret HaKodesh. The title page lists the place of printing as Vienna; however, according to the National Library and the Bibliography of the Hebrew Book, it was printed in Warsaw. As noted by Chaim Lieberman, “for various reasons, Warsaw printers would sometimes conceal the name ‘Warsaw’ on the title page and instead print the name of a foreign city, such as Vienna… yet one familiar with Warsaw printing can recognize them at a glance.” The bibliographic sources  differ regarding the year of printing: the Bibliography of the Hebrew Book records the year as 1856, while the National Library database records it as 1860. See Mondshine, Sefer HaTanya: Bibliography, no. 18, especially from p. 86 onward. The typography and layout differ from standard editions of the Tanya: each page is printed in two columns. On the title page appears the signature of the Gaon Rabbi Yechiel Michel HaKohen, Av Beit Din of Zakroczym , author of Chashrat Mayim (Piotrków, 1904), a descendant of the Chavat Da’at and among the leading Ger Hasidim. He previously served as head of the rabbinical court in Płock and as Av Beit Din of Dobrzyń, and from approximately 1887 served as Av Beit Din of Zakroczym until his passing in 1895 at the age of 44. Among his notable disciples was Rabbi Yosef Pacanowski of Pabianice, author of the well-known Pardes Yosef, who frequently cites his teacher in his work. Additional signatures: Yisrael Mordechai Eibenschütz. Moshe … Eibenschütz. [1]. 2–24, 18–21, 29–44 Leaves. 20.5 cm.
