Manuscript - Etz HaChaim With Kabbalistic Selections, Segulot and Cures - Russia-Poland, ca. 1770

Manuscript, "Etz HaChaim of the Ari", by R. Chaim Vital, with various additions: prayers, liturgical poems, Shabbat songs with commentary, Kabbalistic illustrations and charts, segulot and cures. [Neat Ashkenazic handwriting, Russia-Poland, ca. 1770].
The scribe's colophon (p. 358a) reads: "The book Etz HaChaim of the Ari is complete. Aharon son of Eliyahu, who wrote this book" [the copier is, seemingly, R. Aharon ben Eliyahu of Chmielnik, who copied the book Pri Etz Chaim in Fastiv, Ukraine, in 1771; see the catalogue of the Institute of Microfilmed Hebrew Manuscripts, call no. F 40398].
The final leaves of the book, as well as the flyleaves and endpapers, contain a miscellany (in a different handwriting, ca. 18th century) including prayers, poems, and Kabbalistic commentaries (for a detailed listing, see the Hebrew description).
The texts of Etz Chaim and of the various additions in this manuscript vary considerably from the printed versions of these works, which were brought to print in the following years.
