With introduction by the Munkatcher Rebbe, R. Chaim Elazar Shapiro who states this Siddur was published from a manuscript in the possession of R. Yecheskel Shraga Halberstam, the Shiniver Rebbe. This manuscript originally belonged to the Chid"a (Chaim Joseph David Azulai) and was purchased for the Rebbe in Jerusalem by R. Samuel Aaron Weber, the Rabbi of Ada.
The Siddur with Kavanoth Ari Zal underwent many different redactions by different editors. This version edited by Samuel Vital is especially important according to the Munkatcher Rebbe as Vital worked on it when he was older and had access to many different manuscripts
