Description: A text in Kabala according to the Lurianic School. The first edition the Ms. contains 100 chapters, but a curious editorial operation has been performed on the Ms. by the author, Manaḥem ʻAzariah de Fano, with comments by Yitsḥaḳ ha-Leṿi, and Yeshaʻayahu Nortsi. Fano converted the work to five parts, the first four of which comprise 50 chapters each and the fifth twenty-five. To achieve this, the editor has redivided the original chapters, at the same time revising them very radically. He had excised small and large portions, and even chapters (e.g. the last three and a half chapters of the original). On the other hand he has inserted a large quantity of text into the margins.
Notes: Manuscript written on paper in Italian cursive handwriting.
