Part of a siddur with Derech HaChaim, halachic rulings by R. Yaakov of Lissa [Vienna 1860 edition. Lacking first part of the siddur]. With many handwritten marginal glosses by an unidentified writer, quoting customs of the Gaon of Vilna. Two handwritten leaves at the end of the volume, with additions to the customs of the Gaon of Vilna.
The content of the glosses is for the most part paralleled in the book Maaseh Rav, sometimes with significant textual variations, yet the glosses appear to also include some material which does not appear in other sources documenting the customs of the Gaon of Vilna (see Hebrew description).
One can presume that the writer belonged to the Perushim community in Eretz Israel, since he notes the customs practiced in Eretz Israel ("the Jerusalem custom", p. 406b); nevertheless, he also discusses customs practiced in Europe (such as the second day of Yom Tov and the like).
Part of a siddur. Leaves 284-420 only (lacking over half the siddur. Originally: [7], 420 leaves). 22 cm. Fair condition. Stains. Wear and tears. Worming. Lacking front board. Original back board, damaged.
