Part One of Amaroth Tehoroth, a compendium of five kabbalistic treatises by R. Menahem Azariah of Fano: Ma’amar Hikkur Din, Ma’amar Em Kol Hai, Ma’amar ha-Middoth, Ma’amar Olam Katan, and Ma’amar ha-Ittim. Today, this work is generally known by the title Asarah Ma’amaroth (though the other five treatises are missing). There are other commentaries on RMA’s work, but Yad Yehudah remains the standard commentary.
