Slightly browned, with an occasional spot, some stains at the head, and an occasional marginal tear, but otherwise in good condition. With the boards somewhat bowed, a large dark stain on the back board, and the supports have broken at the hinges.l Bibliography of the Hebrew book 000137592; Steinschneider, col. 2241. With 5 woodcut Hebrew decorated letters and a woodcut ornament on the title-page, and a letterpress inscription encircling the title-page (between rules), about 15 woodcut illustrations in the text, a woodcut tailpiece and decorations built up from arabesque typographic ornaments.

Title page illustrated with historiated woodblock lettering at the top, and encircled by text borders.

Among the specific subjects, the work provides commentary and analysis of the work of previous Kabbalists including "Iggeret ha-Te'amim" (Letter on the Accents) by 16th century rabbi Aaron Abraham ben Baruch Simeon ha-Levi, the writings of Rabbi Moses ben Jacob Cordovero (aka the RAMAK, 15221570), Sefer Yetzirah, and the Zohar.

The large diagram on the leaf 8 has been trimmed in the margin, resulting in minor loss of the image on the left side. Closed tear to leaf 18. Pages throughout with some age toning, occasion minor chipping to the edges, and some sporadic water stains and smudges. Binding in very good+, interior in very good- condition overall.
