Lot 499
Manuscript of Compilation of Homiletics and Kabala (Damascus)
Manuscript – compilation of homiletics, ethics, and kabalistic introductions (like Sefer Midbar K'dumot) according to order of Hebrew alphabet. [Damascus? 1940s?]
Detailed index at end of volume. We do not know the author's identity, but it is very apparent that he was great in Torah and kabala. Pretty oriental handwriting [Aleppo?]
The manuscript comes from the house of the Elder of the Kabalists, Rabbi Yitzchak Kadouri. There is an inscription in Rashi script on the title-page: "Avraham ben Aliza of Damascus, his daughter brought the book, Trab family. Yitzchak Kadouri". The owners of the manuscript say that Rabbi Kadouri probably wrote this in his very old age, hence the size and shape of the letters in not uniform.
87 written pages. Notebook, 22 cm. Very good condition. Green cloth binding, slightly worn.
