Manuscript – VaAdaber Shalom – To Increase Peace in the World – By Rabbi Menashe of Ilya, Disciple of the Gaon of Vilna – Autograph
Manuscript, VaAdaber Shalom, by R. Menashe of Ilya. [Smorgon or Ilya, Vilna district, 1829].
Manuscript handwritten by the author – R. Menashe of Ilya, disciple of the Gaon of Vilna. Unpublished composition.
On the first page, R. Menashe of Ilya defines the purpose of this work – to increase peace in the world. He later writes of his intent to publish this work (however, it was never published).
R. Menashe of Ilya (1767-1831), an outstanding Lithuanian Torah scholar, close disciple of the Gaon of Vilna. His original and individualistic worldviews drew much criticism, and some of his works were burnt by his opponents.
This manuscript is mentioned in a letter from 1879 addressed to Samuel Joseph Fünn in Vilna. The writer offers this manuscript for sale, along with other manuscripts by R. Menashe, and confirms that this manuscript was scribed by the author (see: Yeshurun 20, pp. 800-801).
An inscription by a disciple of R. Menashe of Ilya on final leaf.
[3] leaves (+ blank leaf; five written pages). 21 cm. Good condition. Stains. Several tears (slightly affecting text in one place). New binding.
Expert's authentication of handwriting enclosed.
