Single leaf (two large pages, 78 lines), handwritten by R. Menachem Mendel of Shklow, prominent disciple of the Gaon of Vilna. [Written ca. late 18th century/early 19th century].

Menachem Mendel of Shklow, prominent disciple of the Gaon of Vilna and transmitter of his teachings. R. Yisrael of Shklow attested that R. Menachem Mendel composed ten kabbalistic works, yet not all of them have been published yet. This leaf is presumably from one of his unpublished compositions.
