Description

Physical Description

Only edition, 32 ff., octavo, 200:130 mm., usual light age staining. A very good copy not bound.

 

Detail Description

The first and last chapter of Sefer Yezirah with a commentary by R. Meir b. Moshe Berlash. The title page states that the work was intended for the holiday of Shevo'ut when these two chapters are recited in the Tikkun.

The Book of Creation, the earliest extant Hebrew text of systematic, speculative thought. Its brevity - no more than 1,600 words altogether even in its longer version - allied to its obscure and at the same time laconic and enigmatic style, as well as its terminology, have no parallel in other works on related subjects. The result of all these factors was that for over 1,000 years the book was expounded in a great many different ways, and not even the scientific investigations conducted during the 19th century succeeded in arriving at unambiguous and final results.
