Manuscript, Sifra D'Tzni'uta with the commentary of the Vilna Gaon. [Lithuania, mid-19th century].
The commentary of the Vilna Gaon on Sifra D'Tzni'uta was first printed in Vilna and Grodno, 1820. The variations between this manuscript and the printed edition indicate that this manuscript was copied from a different source, different than the version of the printed edition. [However, the type of paper and script show that it was written a little later, ca. 1830-1860]. Particularly handsome writing and typography, cursive Ashkenazi writing incorporating titles and sections in square calligraphic and hollow square script. Illustrated title page [without writing]. Few marginalia. Ancient owners' stamps in Hebrew and Russian: "Baruch Yitzchaki"; "Avraham Borisowitz Reivsky, Moscow". Ancient signatures.
[81] written leaves, 23 cm. Especially wide margins. Good-fair condition. Stains, tears and gluing to several leaves. New fabric binding.
