Manuscript, Avkat Rochel, anthology on the Torah, Nevi'im and more. Sana'a (Yemen), 1938.
Complete manuscript. Compiled from various compositions, including many kabbalistic books. Two Yemenite compositions by the name Avkat Rochel are known to exist. One was composed by R. Sa'id Alazani and the second by R. Shemarya son of Chalfon Yof'i. We could not connect this composition to either of these works.
At the beginning of the composition: "I have begun writing this book… Avkat Rochel here in the city of Sana'a…". At the end of the composition is a colophon: "The work has been completed on the 25th of Adar 1938… Sali' Ya'ish Ashram who sits at the head of the exiles…".
