HaGra Glosses to the Talmud – Glosses in his own Handwriting on five Tractates of the Babylonian Talmud and one of the Jerusalem Talmud
Volume containing Babylonian Talmud Tractates Rosh HaShana, Ta'anit, Yoma, Sukkah and Megillah, as well as the Jerusalem Talmud, Tractate Shekalim. Berlin – Frankfurt am Oder, 1735.
Written on the title page in an old handwritten script are the words, "With glosses by the Gra in his own handwriting". Inside the volume itself are numerous glosses handwritten by the Gaon Rabeinu Eliyahu of Vilna. (The script is typical of the early 18th and 19th centuries). Most of the glosses appear in "HaGra Glosses to the Talmud" (Vilna, 1880; this edition was known to be more accurate than previous editions). Some glosses found in this volume do not appear there.
