Rabeinu Bahya on the Torah, Cracow, 1592. With important handwritten kabbalistic glosses
An early edition of the well-known commentary.Title page missing.
The opening leaf is damaged and the missing words were copied in flowing Ashkenazi script. At the back of the book is a diagram of the 10 spheres.
There are hundreds of profound Kabbalistic glosses throughout the book, by an unidentified chacham, in Ashkenazi script. The handwriting style shows that they were written by one of the sages of that era. At the end of the book is a list of ownership, and a few notes.
