Likkutei Mohara"n - Forged Edition, Pedigree Copy
Likkutei Mohara"n, the basic book of Breslov Chassidut, and one of the earliest books of Chassidism. Includes counsel and conduct for service of Hash-m, by Rabbi Nachman of Breslov. Early edition, forged.
The title page does not indicate a place of printing, just the year detail: 1809. This is most certainly impossible, due to the fact that Rabbi Nachman of Breslov was still alive then, yet he is referred to in this book with the reference 'זלה"ה' as if he had already passed away. There a several theories as to the place and time of printing. There are those who claim that the book was printed in Koritz in 1819, but this is also not possible. Gershom Scholem wrote that the book was printed in Lemberg or in Zolkiew c. 1850 (Kuntress Eleh Shemot Jerusalem 1928, p. 14, no. 37). Rabbi Natan Tzvi Koenig wrote that the book was printed in Lemberg c. 1830 (Neve Tzaddikim Bnei Brak 1969 p. 41).
Interesting owner's stamp: Rabbi "Baruch Kunstadt of Fulda," rosh yeshivah of Kol Torah, one of the most esteemed "Lithuanian" yeshivahs, where Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Auerbach also served as rosh yeshivah. It is interesting that a "Lithuanian" rosh yeshivah would own the book Likkutei Mohara"n, because opposition to it among "Lithuanian" circles is well-known.
Rabbi Baruch Kunstadt [1885-1967] was a disciple of the author of Shevet Sofer and of his son Akiva Sofer. While still an unmarried yeshivah student, about 22 years old, he was appointed rabbi and adjudicator of the Fulda community. During the Holocaust, he took an oath that if he makes it out alive, he will ascend to the Land of Israel and establish a yeshivah. He did indeed survive, and immigrated with his family to the Land of Israel where he settled in the Nachalat Achim neighborhood, and established the Kol Torah yeshivah in Jerusalem. Aside from his role in the yeshivah, he also served as a halachic adjudicator.
