summary

AN UNPUBLISHED, IMPORTANT AND COMPREHENSIVE COMMENTARY TO THE ZOHAR. Authored by the two principle disciples of R. Abraham Azulai (v.z. Shem Hagedolim). Their student, R. Shalom Buzaglo incorporated portions of this commentary into his work Mikdash Melech (Amsterdam, 1750). Present here is the original scribal manuscript of the authors’ work, written by a scribe who signs his name as Isaac Acandrushi (p. 287b). Only one other copy of this commentary is extant, dated several years later, currently housed in the JTSAL, New York.
ff. [299]. Margins of opening leaves frayed, stained in places. Loose in old boards, needs rebinding. Thick 4to.
