Maaseh Rav. The GR"A. Vilna and Horodna, 1832. First Edition

Rabbi Eliyahu of Vilna - the Vilna Gaon's customs and practices. By Rabbi Yissachar Ber of Vilna, Vilna and Horodna, 1832. First edition.

Specifications: [3], 67 pages. 18 cm. Two title pages. Winograd HaGR"A 808.

Background: The main and authoritative book on the Vilna Gaon's customs, later printed in dozens of editions. Rabbi Yissachar Ber of Vilna collected the GR"A's customs from Rabbi Saadia, the Vilna Gaon's famous student, and expounded on them. The work has an approbation from by Rabbi Chaim of Volozhin, the Vilna Gaon's prominent disciple. The manuscript's editing and printing lasted 15 years, but already received approbations in 1817 from Rabbi Avraham Danzig, author of Chayei Adam, and from the Vilna Gaon's father-in-law. The work was brought to print by Rabbi Mordechai son of Rabbi Yissachar Ber, who wrote about the book's editing at its close.
