summary
A HANSDSOME SET IN A splendid binding
The most sacred and influential of all Kabbalistic works, the Zohar is the pre-eminent classic of world mystical literature, a quest for Divine unity and a search for insight into the mysteries of God’s Torah. The Livorno is one of the most opulent editions with an introduction by the Chid"a (Chaim Joseph David Azulai). The Tikunei Hazohar was designed to expound 70 novellae, each beginning with a new interpretation of the word Bereishith, conforming to the Seventy Aspects of the Torah
