summary

There is discussion whether our edition was printed in Lemberg or in Zolkiew. Also under consideration is the issue of the date: 1809 as opposed to 1850. It would not be possible that the actual printing took place in the year 1809, for the title attaches to the author’s name the blessing for the dead, whereas in the year 1809 Rabbi Nachman was still alive. See G. Scholem, Kuntres Eileh Shemoth Siphrei Mohara”n (1928), no. 36.
