From the printing house of Francisco Vitzeiri. The copy before us is the oldest edition of the tikkun. It is unknown who established the order of the tikkun, but it first appears in the writings of the Ari, and then in Sefer HaShla. The Magen Avraham on the Shulchan Aruch (the composition of which was completed in 1671) states that following the Zohar the first chassidim would stay up all night and deal in Torah. The nusach in the edition before us is the ancient nusach as appears in the writings of the Ari and without the additions of the Shla. | Original leather binding. Notes in Italian on the advertisement page. [2], 37, [10] pages (page numbering is messed up) 17cm. Generally good condition.
