At the beginning of the work is the title Shem Mishimon, perhaps it is part of a work that was meant to be published. Ownership stamp: Shimon Zvi Horowitz Jerusalem, another stamp: Aharon son of Shlomo Ramon [?]. An incomplete copy, begins on page 47, without a title page, 128 leaves. Slightly faded binding with small tears on the spine. Good overall condition. The kabbalist Rabbi Shimon Zvi Horowitz (1870-1947), a disciple of Rabbi Itzele of Volozhin. One of the founders of the Ashkenazi kabbalistic yeshiva Sha’ar Hashamayim. As the kabbalah states that the ten lost tribes will be discovered before the final redemption, in 1929 Rabbi Shimon Zvi was sent to Asia on behalf of the Jerusalemite kabbalists from all the different communities to investigate the matter. For two years, walking by foot or riding a donkey he discovered remains of Jewish settlements in far-flung places cut-off from the rest of the world. He even travelled as far as Tibet, but the Indian authorities suspected him of having criminal motives, and he was therefore forced to stop his journey. He recorded his experiences on his journey in his book Kol Mevaser that was published in 1923
