Published by HaGra's grandson, the Gaon Rabbi Eliyahu Landau - Jerusalem - 1905. Originally: [3], 140, 12, 9-16, [12] leaves. This is an incomplete copy with several missing leaves; only the first color title page exists. Detached leaves. Tears along the edges of several leaves.

Fair overall condition.  Sacred copy Throughout the book, several ownership stamps of the Gaon Rabbeinu Chaim Berlin, who also signed his name on the upper part of the pages of leaves 2, 8, 10 and 30. It is obvious that Rabbeinu had used the Siddur for a long time as indicated by the wear and many marks of usage, mainly in the leaves of the Shmonah Essreh prayer of the days of the week and Jewish festivals. There are also marks of usage throughout the book, including the leaves of Keri'at Shema and more. In two places in the book, references handwritten by Rabbeinu.  The Gaon Rabbi Chaim Berlin (1832–1912) was the eldest son of the illustrious Natziv of Volozhin and a great Torah leader of his generation. He served as Rav and Av Beit Din of Kobryn, Moscow, and Yalta, and was known as a staunch defender of religious observance during a time of spiritual persecution in Russia. After his father’s passing, he briefly headed the Volozhin Yeshiva. He later immigrated to the Eretz Yisrael, and following the Rabbi Shmuel Salant's passing, was appointed Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem—though he humbly declined to accept the title officially. He was Rosh Yeshiva of Etz Chaim and was considered a pillar of the Old Yishuv in Jerusalem. Renowned for his humility, peaceful demeanor, and measured halachic rulings, he left a lasting imprint on his contemporaries and on the path of Torah leadership in Eretz Yisrael. He passed away in 1912 and was buried on the Mount of Olives.
