The great Gaon and Mekubal Rabbainu Shmuel Vital abd Damascus, from the great disciples of his father Rabbainu Chaim Vital, heir of his manuscripts, which he edited, also wrote Torah received from the Holy Ari. His father admired and regarded him very much, and bequeathed to him all the knowledge he acquired from his Rabbi the Holy Ari, he expressed about him that his soul is from the root of the Holy Ari and especially venerable. Also among his great disciples was the disciple of his father the famous Rabbi Yaakov Tzemach [editer of the writings of Rabbi Chaim Vital] who was very accurate and proficient in the Torah of the Holy Ari as the Holy Chida writes admiringly about him in his sefer " Shem HaGedolim" : ...וזה שלושים שנה שיצאו לאור " שמונה שערים" מסודרים מבן מהרח" ו מהו" ר שמואל ועליהם יש לסמוך... ולכן הרוצה ללמוד בספרים היותר מדויקים ילמוד " שמונה ספרים" שסידר
His sefer 'Totzaot Chaim' on Chamishai Chumshai Torah, was called by him 'Sifri HaGadol' - my great sefer. hand written of four of the five Chumashim are found in the Paris Library, in Cambridge, and in Jerusalem. His holy manuscripts from the famous 'Shemonah Shearim', are found in Chabad Library in New York, but his manuscript of Sefer Beraishit, is lost and gone.
These two pages were first discovered among the manuscripts on Chumash Breishit and they are the only ones in the whole world known from him on Sefer Breishit.
The hand written manuscripts were checked by an expert who had determined that these are entirely the writings of Rabbi Shmuel Vital known from other manuscripts.
Moth holes, stained, good condition.
