<<Second edition of the fundamental exposition of Chabad Chassidism>> containing the first appearance of the third section of the Tanya, “Igereth HaTeshuvah.” This Zolkiew edition so radically differs from the revised version printed subsequently in Shklov in 1806, that Chassidim refer to it as the “first draft” or “Igereth HaTeshuvah - Mahadura Kama.” See Ch. Liberman, Ohel Rachel, Vol. I, pp. 54-56; S.D. Avtzon, The Tanya - a History (1999) pp. 37-9; J. Mondschein, Siphrei HaHalacha shel Admo”r HaZaken - Bibliography (1984) p. 65, n. 5; R. Mahler, Hasidism and the Jewish Enlightenment (1985) p. 109.
