Ohr Ne'erav - The Rama"k's Kabbalah. Venice, 1587. Important, Rare Book
Ohr Ne'erav - gateway to Kabbalistic wisdom by the G-dly Kabbalist Rabbi Moshe Cordovero - the Rama"k, the Ar"i's teacher. First, rare edition.
Before us is a fundamental work in Kabbalistic doctrine per the Rama"k with a lengthy foreword by Rabbi Gedaliah Cordovero, the Rama"k's son. There is another lengthy foreword from the proofreader, that according to the words of Rabbi Gedaliah, is Rabbi Menachem Azariah of Fano - the Rem"a of Fano. It is important to note that leading Kabbalists saw books of the Rama"k's Kabbalah, especially Ohr Ne'erav before us, as a gateway to the world of Kabbalah.
Refer to the Hebrew catalog text for a brief biography of Rabbi Moshe Cordovero - the Rama"k.
