Sefer Torat Natan, on Mamarei Hazohar and the Ari’s writings by the Kabbalist Rabbi Natan Shapira, author of Matzot Shimurim.

The last 11 leaves include: Ateret Shlomo by the rashbad of Tost.
On the last leaf: "copied from Sefer Sha’arei Chaim, commentary on Mekach Umimkar of Rav Hai Gaon [printed in Salonika in 1814, and at its end, an appendix:] Sefer Hapirkus Peirush Rafrafot by Rabbeinu Hai Gaon … found by my grandfather… Rabbi Yaakov Aryeh when he was sent on Shlichut Mitzvah to Babylon… from a manuscript of the Gaon … and copied them…"
