<<SCARCE EDITION OF A FUNDAMENTAL KABBALISTIC WORK.>> R. Moses Cordovero (RaMa”K) (1522-1570), the great systematizer of Kabbalah, lays here the foundations for Kabbalistic ethical literature. Pivoting on the Thirteen Attributes of Mercy (Micah 7:18-20), the work provides instruction how one may spiritually identify with each of the Ten Sefiroth.
