Sefer HaZohar, Lublin, R' Tzvi Bar Avraham Kalonymous Jaffe. 1623. Scarce
First edition of a Sefer HaZohar HaKadosh printed in Ashkenazic countries for Ashkenazic Jewry.
Scarce sefer, almost no copies have survived intact. Even the National Library in Jerusalem does not have a complete copy.
Incomplete copy.
Only two first editions preceded this edition, those printed in Mantua and in Cremona, 1558-1560.
Several significant differences are known to distinguish these two first editions.
This edition here is based on the Cremona edition, but supplements from the Mantua edition are added. Hence this is a Sefer HaZohar completed from both editions.
The editor and proofreader of Zohar Lublin was Kabbalist Rabbi Nathan b"r Yitzchak Shapira, cousin of Kabbalist Rabbi Nathan Shapira, author of Megaleh Amukot.
Ginzei Yisrael - Osef Mehlman 1069 (listing an incomplete copy).
The rare complete sefer includes 132; 122; 146 leaf.
This copy's title page was completed by professional photocopy. Lacking the following leaf - the proofreader's foreword, and leaf 7.
Lacking in the second pagination: leaf 23 and leaf 80. Lacking in the third pagination: leaf 50, 118-119; and the sefer concludes with leaf 130 (lacking 16 leaves at the end).
Approximately 28 cm.
Entirely artistically restored sefer. Worming damage, tears and lacks primarily in the margins of the leaves, without completion of the text. Aging stains. Beautiful new leather binding.
