English: Sefer ha-Middot (retitled Orhot Zaddikim in its printed versions) is a medieval Hebrew ethical work by an anonymous author. This is one the earliest extant manuscript of the book in its full version, completed by the scribe in 1486; however, despite its early date, the text was copied carelessly and needs to be used with care. This manuscript is currently held in the Russian State Library, Moscow (Guenzburg collection, manuscript 772). It is being utilized in the production of a corrected edition of Orhot Zaddikim at Hebrew Wikisource, in which it is designated G (or ג).
