Perets's Sefer Ma῾arekhet ha-elohut
Contents
Sefer Ma῾arekhet ha-elohut with commentary.
Language(s): Hebrew
ff. 1r-114vTitle: Ma῾arekhet ha-elohutTitle: מערכת האלהותThe work is followed by the anonymous commentary (as in the printed edition of Ferrara, 1557).
The text is very faulty (beginning folio 1r). A list of chapters is given at the end.
A number of omissions have been supplied in the margin (e.g., folios 28v, 30v). Different readings are also occasionally given in marginal notes (e.g., folios 1v, 89v) both for text and the commentary.
The commentary begins on folio 59r. The comments are carelessly written and the headings of the sections are often wanting (e.g., folios 94v, 11r). The first 8 lines of folio 80r are a repetition of lines 1-7 in folio 78r.
See further in [Masuot_1994] 357-369.
