summary

According to Yudlov this commentary culled from the Zohar originally appeared in Lublin in the year 1592 under the title “Tamim Yachdav.” Centuries later, the early Chassidim grew to become very fond of this Zoharic commentary, retitled here, simply as: “Peirush HaZohar.” Mehlman's copy of this rare Tehillim is incomplete, lacking a full ten leaves (Mehlman Cat. 77)

ff. 70, 76-87, 85-132, 137-end (lacking f. 116), mispaginated. Few stains and light wear in places, few neat taped corner repairs, title-page with heavy ink rule. Recent calf. 8vo
