History and editions
Rabbi Nathan compiled Rabbi Nachman's biography some time after 1823. Before this, he had been personally engaged in the printing of Rabbi Nachman's works, but then his printing activities became hampered due to opposition and the book was not printed in his lifetime, but remained in the hand of disciples. Rabbi Nathan's follower Rabbi Nachman, the rav[clarification needed] of Tcherin, made the first printing in 1874 in Lemberg, both adding and omitted some material and signing himself in the editor's notes as "hama`atik" ("the copier").
Numerous editions followed, and a few of them added to the omissions. The 1982 edition by Agudat Meshekh HaNachal, Jerusalem, introduced an overall numbering system which labeled all the signs from 1 to 613, whereas previously each of the approximately 19 sections had their own numberings starting from 1; this numbering has become dominant in subsequent editions.[1]: xii–xii
