Lot 276:
Zohar, section 1, on Genesis—Mantua printing. Copy of the kabbalist Rabbi Aharon Khiyun. Full of glosses, notes, and additions by hand. After his death, Yitzhak Avzamil of Egypt copied them into a book, and called it Machaneh Aharon (printed in Livorno, 1795, around 150 years after the death of the author).

The Machaneh Aharon was active in the 17th century in Jerusalem, was a dayan in the Rishyon LeZiyyon’s beit din and head of Jerusalem rabbis. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity by Rav Shimon Schwartz. Original binding, partially disconnected. Slightly missing in the upper margins of pages 1-14, with minimal damage to text. Moth marks. Stains from time. 4 last pages are disconnected. 251, 14 pages. 21cm. Generally ok to good condition.
