These manuscript notes contain variances from the published version of Otzar Hakavod (first edition, Nowydwor, 1808), composed by Abulafia in 13th century Spain. It is one of the earliest Kabbalistic interpretations of the Talmudic Aggadoth. The four leaves of notes by R. Abraham Reggio are apparently unpublished. R. Abraham Reggio (1755-1846) was a disciple of R. Isaac Lampronti and R. Moshe Cheifetz, whom Reggio succeeded as Rabbi of Gorizia, Italy.
