Manuscript, Ma'amar Kodesh by the Ari about wisdom of the hand and fingers, with commentary of Rabbi Ya'akov Temralish. Handsome Ashkenasic handwriting, with a kabalistic illustration of a palm. [17th century].
This work was first printed under the title of Ma'amar Kadishin – at the end of Sefer HaYetzira with the Gra's commentary [Warsaw, 1884] from a manuscript owned by the Gra. This is a very early manuscript written during the life of the commentary's author: "The Chassid G-dly Mekubal… Ya'akov Temralish Ashkenasi" [author of Sifra D'Tzni'uta D'Ya'akov – died in Nissan 1666]. At the top of the manuscript is an introduction: "This form I have found by an old person of esteemed countenance, an outstanding Torah scholar, and he cautioned that every man must know this". At the end of the manuscript is a colophon of the copier: "I, the writer Eliezer called Zelig".
