A handwritten leaf written on both sides in the autograph of the Gaon of Vilna - Kabbalistic Commentary on the Book of Habakkuk

A holy page that is completely written in the handwriting of Rabbinu Or Hahomeel Rabbi Eliyahu 'Hagr"a' of Vilna Zyu"a.

The page has 33 lines. Size of the page is 10.3x16 cm.

Attached is a certificate from the well-known expert on the Gaon of Vilna's writings, Rabbi David Kaminetsky Shlita of the 'Torat Hagr"a', which confirms that these pages are in the sacred handwriting of the Gr"a.

Manuscripts of the Gr"a are priceless, he did not write after reaching the age of 40!
