Masechta Berachoth.

(ABULAFIA, TODROS HALEVI)

Immanuel Benveniste

Amsterdam

1644

With extensive manuscript marginal notes throughout in a Sephardic hand on the Agadoth of Berachoth, comprising a copy of the Sepher Otzar HaKavod with variances from the printed edition. The final four pages contain Autograph Signed Halachic novellae by R. Abraham Reggio entitled “palpelth kol shehu” (see below).

These manuscript notes contain variances from the published version of Otzar Hakavod (first edition, Nowydwor, 1808), composed by Abulafia in 13th century Spain. It is one of the earliest Kabbalistic interpretations of the Talmudic Aggadoth. The four leaves of notes by R. Abraham Reggio are apparently unpublished. R. Abraham Reggio (1755-1846) was a disciple of R. Isaac Lampronti and R. Moshe Cheifetz, whom Reggio succeeded as Rabbi of Gorizia, Italy.
