Sefer Zohar – all sections in a single volume – Lublin, 1623 – with dozens of glosses in ancient script from the 17th and 18th centuries – incomplete copies

In the edition of the Zohar, two columns per page were printed.


The content of most of the glosses was published in the books Imrei Binah by Rabbi Yissachar Ber of Kremnitz in 1611 and Aderet Eliyahu by Rabbi Eliyahu Baal Shem of Luantz, yet with some variations. 

(Most of the glosses were published in the Sulzbach 1684 edition of the Zohar and were titled Derech Emet. We do not know whether these glosses were copied from the printed books or from a manuscript or are possibly an autograph of one of the aforementioned authors). 

26-113, 116-132; 122; 1-94 leaves. 79 leaves are missing. (The original pagination of the leaves was 132; 122; 146 leaves). The missing leaves were completed with a photocopy. 31 cm. Most of the leaves are in good condition. Stains. New binding.
