summary

The style of arranging articles on halachic topics in alphabetical order was popular among Sephardic rabbis. The first seventeen leaves here (independent of the rest) are commentaries on Maimonides' Mishneh Torah. In the Introduction, the Author offers a mystical explanation as to why the Redemption did not arrive in the year [5]600 a.m. / 1840 c.e. as prophesied in the Zohar. See A. Morgenstern, Ge’ulah be-Derech ha-Teva (1979), pp. 12-16

ff. (3), 145. Title and final leaf reinforced, marginal worming, minor loss of text. Modern boards. Folio
