summary

The book is divided into three parts: The first treats of Divine Providence; the second of the uniqueness of the Jewish People; the third of communion (devekuth) with God. As might be expected, the author makes extensive use of Maimonides' Guide of the Perplexed, but neither is he adverse to citing at length a passage from the Zohar.

ff. 39. Title laid to size with small corner of arch supplied, paper repairs in places, stained. Modern vellum. 12mo
