Rabbi Yehuda Fetaya (1859-1942), was born in Baghdad to his father the Kabbalist Rabbi Moshe Yeshu’ah. He studied at the ‘Midrash Beit Talmud Torah’ and the ‘Midrash Beit Zilcha’ Yeshiva. He was ordained as a Moreh Hora’ah at the age of 17 by Rabbi Abdalla Somech. He learned Kabbala from his father and from Rabbi Yosef Chaim, the "Ben Ish Chai’. He served as Rosh Yeshiva at the ‘Midrash Beit Zilcha’ Yeshiva and was proficient in the Zohar and the Ari’s writings, which he knew by heart. He taught a select group of disciples Kabbala and was an expert on amulets, Segulot and Tikkunei HaNefesh. Authored many sefarim on the Nigleh and the Nistar, commentary, innovations, Derashot and prayers. He immigrated to the Land of Israel and settled in Jerusalem.

The pages have been sewn together yet the seam has unraveled. Fold marks, minor aging stains, tears and blemishes to several pages, not affecting the text. Some erasures. The comments on volume B are numbered 7-53, so possibly, an additional page with the first [6] comments is missing. General good condition.
