Lot 041:
A wide exegesis on Pirkei Avot by the wondrous, Kabbalist Gaon HaRav Shimshon Haim Nahmani, compiler of the book “Seed of Shimshon.” Printing by Moshe Attias, with consent page of the compiler’s uncle, HaRav Menahem Azariya of Pano (the Rama of Pano), with consent of Livorno in Latin, 120 pages, title page in red ink. The compiler is one of the greatest Kabbalists from the 18-19th century. HaHida in his book “Name of the Sages” writes of the rabbi “the holy chassid and kabbalist Maharar Shimshon Nahmani, student of the Rav Aviad Shar Shalom in Basil and the Rav David Pintzi and for Kabbala a student of the Rav Binyamin HaCohen of Reggio, I heard that he was well-versed in practical Kabbalah and commanded that all of his kabbalist writings be buried alongside him in his grave. A very important and rare book, the compiler’s books were published as books of superstition. Moth damage, a number of pages are cut in their margins with damage to the borders of the text.
