Heichal Kodesh commentary on year-round prayers with a kabbalistic approach, by [R' Moshe bar Maimon known as Elbaz] ... Brought to the printing press ... the kabbalist Rabbi Yaakov Sasportas, including several additional glosses from the kabbalist Rabbi Aharon Hasaboni. Amsterdam, 1653. First edition.

The author was a kabbalist who lived in Morocco during the period of the Ari, but neither knew of him nor his teachings. There were proficient kabbalists who found similarities between this book and the Ari's kabbalah. Rabbi Aharon Hasaboni of Sale proofread the book and added notes containing excerpts from the Ar"i.
