Copy of R. Abraham, son of the Vilna Gaon.
R. Abraham (1750-1808) son of R. Elijah, Gaon of Vilna (1720-1797), besides preserving teachings heard from his father, was a distinguished scholar in his own right. He is perhaps most famous for his bibliographic work “Rav Pe’alim” (1894). Recently, there have come to light his glosses to the Babylonian Talmud. See S. Gottesman, “Hagahoth u-bi’urim la-Shas le-R. Avraham ben ha-GRA,” Yeshurun, Vol. IV (1998), pp. 124-221; JE, Vol. I, pp.106-7.
