Buyer's premium:

Ink on thick, dark, quality paper, with wide margins. Nice manuscript, straight and divided into chapters and with headings. The books were authored by two of the generation’s greatest kabbalists: Shalom HaKarchi and RShlomo bar David HaKohen, following the awakening of kabbalah that took place at the beginning of the 16th century. No known handwriting of his exists so no comparison could be made. The manuscript underwent professional restoration. No cover page. Missing a bit of text on some pages. New, handsome leather binding. 23x16cm. Generally good condition.
