Summary

Manuscript copy of the work referred to as Keter rosh (following most printed editions; Orḥot ḥayim Keter rosh, Jerusalem [1914] and the new edition, Jerusalem, Sivan 5777 (ed. M. Grodka); the work is of a copyist tradition of personal customs of Elijah ben Solomon (the Vilna Gaon) and his student Hayyim Volozhiner, and the central transcription of the text was likely by Asher Ashkenazi of Tykocin, beginning circa 1815). This manuscript follows the numbered paragraph system and here ranges from 1-109 and not corresponding to the text of the printed editions; for example, 109 in this manuscript is an interpretation Elijah ben Solomon related to his own dream upon dreaming of words in the Polish language (missing from the printed editions); 90 is an account of Hayyim Volozhiner's preparation of an inn for housing a Torah scroll (longer and with more detail than the printed edition); many of the paragraphs are missing or variated from the printed edition, and the copyist's statement suggests that this manuscript was copied from the master document (""את כל זה הגהתי וציינתי אני חיים בלא"אמור הרב מהור"ר אברהם זצ"ל נאטנזאהן איש פיקעלין). Written in an Eastern European cursive Hebrew script; folios of blue paper, disbound.
