Mevo Shearim [Kabbalistic treatise]

With unique introduction containing heretofore unknown historical background in regard to the authorship by R. Chaim Vital of the three volumes: Eitz Chaim, Pri Eitz Chaim, Nof Eitz Chaim – each of which were divided into “Gates,” preceded by Mevo Shearim (“Introduction to the Gates.”) See Y. Avivi, Kabalath Ha’Ari, Vol. II, pp. 632-4. <<This manuscript belonged to R. Avraham ben Shmuel Meyuchouth, with his signature on the title-page and notations throughout.>> R. Meyuchouth (d. 1768) penned a substantial commentary on Derech Eitz Chaim, arranged by R. Meir Poppers, that was entitled “Diglei Ahavah.” See Toldoth Chachmei Yerushalayim, Vol. III pp. 90-1.
