Amulet with the Ilan HaKodesh—paper roll, from the 1840s, in a silver case - Printed on paper—8 pieces of paper connected to one another. Divided into three main sections: foundations of kabbalistic wisdom; kabbalistic charts and illustrations; and the Ilan HaKodesh—a list of the evolution of the world over time by Rabbi Meir Paprash, one of the Gurei HaAri. Apart from the great theoretical knowledge that the megillah contains, it explains visually the foundations of kabbalah, and is designed for learning the wisdom of kabbalah, as the Admor Rabbi Yeshaya Moshkat of Prague (son-in-law of Rabbi Yitzhak of Radowil and a student of the Maggid of Kozhnitz, friend of the Chiddushei HaRim) writes in his endorsement for the printing of the Ilan. The Ilan HaKodesh is a segulah for preservation from all harm, and for raising sons. The megillah is given in a fancy metal case colored in silver and gold, decorated with illustrations of plants, with a town in the center, engraved “Mr. and Mrs. Menahem”. Length: around 3.5m. Width: around 21cm. Professionally repaired at the top, with slight damage to text. Generally good condition.
