A most attractive manuscript being a comprehensive history of members of the Caro family, with much literary information concerning its many scholarly members. Includes some 12 generations, from R. Shimon Caro (12th century author of Yalkut Shimoni). Of much interest is the interaction of family members with rabbinic leaders such as R. Akiva Eger, R. Yechezkel Landau and R. Tzvi Hirsch Berlin.
