Commentary to the the Book of Eichah (Lamentations).
The work is divided into four parts: The first, a straightforward commentary; the second, a commentary that attempts to turn all the lamentations to consolations; the third, explanations of several passages from Midrash Lamentations Rabbah; and the fourth, commentary to the Fifteen Songs of Ascent (Psalms 120-134) that correspond to the fifteen Biblical generations from Abraham the Patriarch to King Solomon.
The Author (1651-1730) was the foremost Italian Kabbalist of his day and universally held in the greatest reverence.
