Ahavat Adonai

Contents

A commentary on Idra Zuta, the section in the Zohar on Parashat Haʾazinu.

Language(s): Hebrew

ff. 1r-64v
Author: סדבון, יוסף בן ישועה Sadbun, Y. (Yosef), active 18th century
Title: אהבת ה’: פרוש על אדרא זוטא
Title: Ahavat H.: perush ʿal Idra zuṭa

According to the author he began writing at "Sunday the ninth of the month Tevet in the year 5536 (1776)". Several other manuscripts of Ahavat Adonai, copied by different hands are found in other libraries. This date appears at the head of all of them. The same date is also found in the printed edition (f. 1r). It remains to be ascertained whether the date given in this manuscript is the actual date of the manuscript or the date of the original manuscript from which this copy was made.

The text of Idra Zuta is included.

Deleted marginal note on f. 48v.

Incomplete at the end, extending to f. 38v of the printed edition (Livorno, 1871).
