Two copies of the 'Tzemach Tzeddek' first edition, Vilna, 1884. The different editions with the 'corrections' of the titles of Hagra of Vilna!!
Chabad. 2 Seforim of 'Tzemach Tzeddek' , with the famous quote of the words of Hagra - copy facing copy.
In the second section p. 138 the Holy Rav Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Lubavitch warite, among others: "...והגר"א הביא מנדרים (דמ"ט) שעטני מעיל. " ואינה תשובה" דהרי..".
In the copies that were 'corrected' by the printers of Vilna, it was written: "..והגר"א הביא מנדרים (דמ"ט) שעטני מעיל. "ו אנכי בעניי לא זכיתי להבין דבריו הקדושים" דהרי..".
Regarding the affair amd the words of the researchers and slanderers who dealt with the issue, there is a letter by the Rabbi of Lubavitch in his Sefer Igros HaKodesh (volume 8, p. 237) and his opinion on the matter:
Once upon a time and as I have heard from the Holy Admor ... that the printers of Vilna (and I haven't heard clearly whether the Bochur Zetzer [the typesetter] and his supervisors and the publisher) which is common knowledge was then when the Piskei-Dinim were printed a fortress city of the Misnagdim and apparently to this was added the fact that the year of 1884 was soon after the passing of the Admor Moharash and anyway a time of emergency, and they took advantage of the opportunity to forge, and instead of ואינה תשובה printed the version copied by Kevod Toraso and when the first copies reached Lubavitch, they took every possible measure are reprinted the last pages according to the version of the Tzemach Tzeddek, and is is understandable that I could not destroy all the copies with the forged verions".
Before us are the two copies, one facing the other. Conditions vary, stains and dampness marks. The versions and title of the Gaon od Vilna. Fascinating!
