Est: $3,000 - $4,000
PRICE REALIZED $3,000
One of the first appearances of the Tanya complete with its’ final section, Kuntress Acharon ("Last Thesis"), published after the Alter Rebbe’s death. A rare, unrecorded, variant edition. The pagination of this book differs from both Mondschein numbers 10 and 11 (the Ta-shema copy). Although the date on the title here states 1814, Mondschein attributes a similar edition with variant pagination to be possibly Kopyst after 1814, or perhaps another entirely unknown Russian illegal press. The present variant issue is not found in either the National Library, Jerusalem, nor The Lubavitch Library, Brooklyn, New York
