Asis Rimonim. First Edition. Venice, 1601
Abridged version of the sefer Pardes Rimonim by Rabbi Moshe Cordevero, the Ramak, by his disciple Rabbi Shmuel Galiko.
The sefer Pardes Rimonim (see Lot# 39) by the Ramak is described as an elemental work “for anyone who enters the pardes (orchard) of wisdom, ” which is the classic reference to the study of kabbalah. Since the Ramak’s writings were written in a profound and lengthy style, numerous kabbalistic scholars created abridged versions of his work. This sefer, Asis Rimonim, was the first such abridged work.
. Leaf 23a features a full-page flowchart of the Sefiros in the shape of a tree.
