Scarce kabbalistic siddur, “Siddur Tefilla which is the Ari’s siddur with chiddushim, the Sefer Tefillah L’Moshe…commentary on the seder tefilla…based on the words of the Ari…Hillel Moshe of Eshil…Gelbstein…printed in Jerusalem 1888.”
A kabbalistic siddur based on that of the Ari, the nusach of the Amida based on that in the siddur of the Rashash, and Tefillah L’Moshe by an exegesis by the Chassidic kabbalist the Chiddushei HaRim of Gur, whom he mentions in the beginning of this work’s introduction: “The holy man…Admor Rabbi Yitzhak Meir…who planted his flag in Gur…”
This rare Siddur was printed as a series of booklets at various Jerusalem presses. The printing apparently started in 1879 and finished in 1902.
