Venice 1546. The R. Moshe Chalfin (Lipchitz) copy.
צרור המור. וינציאה ש”ו (1546). עותק ר’ משה חלפין (ליפשיץ).
Classic Kabbalistic commentary on the weekly Torah portions by R. Avrohom Saba.
R. Avrohom Saba (1440-1508) was among the distinguished Talmidei Chachomim in Spain. With the expulsion of Jews from Spain in 1492, he fled to Portugal and thereafter to Morocco. The manuscript of this sefer was lost during the author’s various exiles and upon arrival in Morocco he reconstructed it from memory.
R. Moshe Chalfin-Lipchitz (died 1831) was a talmid of the Kozhnitzer Magid and The Chozeh of Lublin and was the father in law of R. Menachem Mendel of Kotzk and R. Yitzchok Meir Alter of Gur (Chidushei Ha’Rim).
Vinograd Venice 293. Justinian-Adelkind press. 165 pages 29 cm. (As in many copies lacking final blank). Overall good condition. Some staining. Small hole in title page.
Opening bid $950
