A manuscript, secrets of world creation, Adam and Eve, Noah, as learnt from Kabbalah. Writer unknown. (Russia-Poland from about 1830).
Handwriting style is typical for that Lithuania area during the 1820s-1830s. The writer may be a chassid of one of the Lithuanian and Reisin Chassidim (Chabad, Lachovitz, Karlin etc.) or perhaps from the beit midrash of HaGra's students. Another option, the most logical to us, may be that the type of writing is of character of the old school of mekubalim in Poland and Lithuania, as most of the writings are based on the Zohar HaKadosh, sifrei rishonim, the Ari and the seforim of R"Y Tzemach and R"S Buzaglo.
We believe this is an autographic handwriting (written by the author). The continuity of the writing and the errors make this look as if it is a copying, but the comments and notes, written in the same handwriting, teach us that the writer probably copied his own writing from an earlier edition, (causing this writing to have errors characteristic for a sequence copy), adding comments throughout the years.
Two names are written on pages before the binding, one mentioned together with the name of his mother [most probably for praying- perhaps Chassidic leader].
112 leaves, 22 cm, neatly written. Light bluish/greenish paper, fair to good condition, stained, parts of ink are slightly faded. Antique binding, falling apart and worn out.

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.
