<<UNPUBLISHED ANONYMOUS COMPOSITION>> on the laws of writing a Get (divorce bill). The manuscript includes a commentary on Tur Even Ha’Ezer; Kelalei HaSofer (principles for the Scribe); Dinei Kethivath HaGet U’Nesinasah (laws of writing the divorce bill and it’s transmission) according to the text of the Rem’a and concludes with Seder Nethinath HaGet B’ktzara. The anonymous author was clearly a great Halachic scholar. He cites the Nachalath Shivah and Beith Shmuel extensively, and remarkably, often differs from positions of the great R. Moses Isserles (Rem’a).
