Sefer HaZohar - Cremona, 1559-1560
Sefer HaZohar on the Torah, by the Tanna Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai. Cremona, [1559-1560]. Notations and corrections in Oriental and Ashkenazi handwriting.
This edition of the Zohar is the first and second printing of the Zohar books [after permission was denied by the rabbis to print the Zohar for approximately 90 years after printing was discovered. Mantua printers began printing the books of the Zohar a year earlier, however, the Cremona printers succeeded in completing the printing of all sections prior to the Mantua printers].
Incomplete copy: 5-132; 99; 143 leaves (instead of: 132, 122, 146 leaves. Missing total of 30 leaves). 29 cm. Fair condition. Stains, wear and tear. Detached leaves. Unbound.
