Royal MS 16 A XIV

Kabbalistic works

Contents

Summary of Contents: Tiḳune Zohar, followed by portions of Siṭre Torah, Midrash ne῾elam, and portions on a large number of pericopes of the Pentateuch.

Language(s): Hebrew, Jewish Babalonia Aramaic

ff. 1r-224v
Title: Zohar (Tiḳunim)
Title: זהר (תקונים)

The enumeration of the tikunim is irregular, several number being passed over. An occasional omission or a fuller note marks the absence of parts in the manuscript from which the scribe copied.

The passage headed Siṭre Torah begins on folio 130v.

The contents of folios 146r-162v agree in the main with Midrash ne῾elam.

The portions that remain consist almost entirely of sections of the Zohar proper on a number of pericopes of the Pentateuch as printed in different editions. The last pericope dealt with is Ṿa-yelekh, folios 221r-224r.
