Siddur HaGra BeNigleh UbeNistar, Parts I and II, with Maaseh Rav and selected laws by the Gaon of Vilna, with kabbalistic commentaries and kavanot from a manuscript siddur of the Gaon of Vilna, compiled by the kabbalist R. Naftali Hertz HaLevi Rabbi of Jaffa. Jerusalem: R. Y.N. Levy, 1895-1898.
Two parts in one volume. Part I has two title pages.
Siddur according to the Vilna Gaon's version of the text, with selected laws and kabbalistic commentaries by the Gaon of Vilna. The siddur comprises two parts: the revealed part, which R. Naftali Hertz HaLevi compiled from the book Maaseh Rav and from the commentary of the Gaon of Vilna to Shulchan Aruch; and the kabbalistic part, which contains kabbalistic commentaries and kavanot.
The kabbalistic part is based on two sources: the first is a manuscript siddur copied by R. David Luria (Radal), which was in the possession of R. Shmuel Moltzan who gave it over to his son R. Yitzchak Moltzan. The second, "Kabbalistic selections of the Gaon of Vilna which I collected from his manuscript and printed commentaries… including one compilation which was found in a copy of R. David Luria on Shemoneh Esreh".
This siddur includes two commentaries composed by R. Naftali Hertz HaLevi on the kabbalistic part: Imrei Shefer and Shaar Naftali.
This edition also includes the Shenot Eliyahu commentary to tractate Shabbat, based on a manuscript in his possession. This is in effect the first edition of Shenot Eliyahu to this tractate.
Stamps, signatures of R. "Baruch Mordechai Ettinger" and dedication of his son R. "Ch. Moshe Ettinger", dated 1925.
Two parts in one volume. Part I: [5], 164 leaves. Part II: [1], 160 leaves. 23 cm. Good condition. Dry paper. Minor stains. Tears. Detached leaf, several other leaves are loose and partially detached. Original half-leather binding. Minor damage to binding.

Maaseh Rav, practices of the Gaon of Vilna, by R. Yissachar Dov Ber of Vilna. Lviv, 1833. Second edition.
This edition has many differences in comparison to the first edition printed in Vilna and Horodna in 1832, and it is (presumably) an earlier version of the work, prepared for print by the author in 1817. See: R. Dovid Kamenetsky, Torat HaGra, p. 175 onwards.
Signatures on the title page and final leaf: " Shmuel Heller" – R. Shmuel Heller (1786-1884), a leading Torah scholar and a physician, well versed in secular wisdoms, he was raised in the home of the Chozeh of Lublin and immigrated to Eretz Israel upon his advice. He served as rabbi of Safed for sixty years (see: HaRav HaManhig VehaRofeh, Safed 1989 for his biography and the history of the Safed settlement).

Maaseh Rav, practices of the Gaon of Vilna, by R. Yissachar Dov Ber, posek in Vilna. "Zhovkva, 1808" [Lviv? after 1833]. Presumably third edition.
The imprint on the title page reads: "Juda Meyerhoffer 1808 in Zolkiew". The date is unquestionably false, since the title page mentions the author as rabbi of Vilna, a position he received only in 1817. The place of printing may also be false. This edition was printed leaf by leaf after the Lviv 1833 edition (which was an earlier version of this composition, see previous item).

Aliyot Eliyahu, biography of the Gaon of Vilna, his accomplishments and holy practices, by R. Yehoshua Heschel Levin. Vilna, 1856. First edition. Two title pages.
The most important and comprehensive book on the biography of the Gaon of Vilna, which serves as basis for all books and essays about the Gaon of Vilna and his school of thought printed thereafter. The book includes a section entitled Aliyat Kir – first bibliography of the books of the Gaon of Vilna, containing much valuable material on the history of the writings of the Gaon of Vilna in print and manuscript.
The author, R. Yehoshua Heschel Levin (1818-1884), son-in-law of the grandson of R. Chaim of Volozhin (R. Eliyahu Shlomo Zalman son of R. Itzele of Volozhin), leading Torah scholar in Vilna. He delt extensively with the Jerusalem Talmud, and tried to publish a new, emended edition. His composition Tziyun Yehoshua (Vilna 1869) on the Babylonian Talmud indicates parallel topics in the Jerusalem Talmud. R. Yehoshua Heschel was also the editor of Ruach Chaim, commentary on Tractate Avot by R. Chaim of Volozhin, and authored other compositions.
The book contains the glosses of R. David Luria – the Radal, who reviewed R. Yehoshua Heschel Levin's work and added various anecdotes and comments. The book also includes glosses by R. Avraham Simcha Berlin and R. Yaakov Tzvi Mecklenburg author of HaKetav VehaKabbalah. The final leaf contains praises and blessings for Alexander II, Czar of Russia.
