Tzror HaMor by the Beit Yosef's Grandfather. Venice, 1545. Pedigree Copy
Sefer Tzror HaMor - elucidation of the Torah in its basic and Kabbalistic meanings, by Kabbalist Rabbi Avraham Sabbe - the Beit Yosef's grandfather. Venice, 1545. Second edition. With a stamp by the sacred gaon Rabbi Moshe Chalfin, patriarch of the Gur and Kotzk dynasties.
When fleeing Portugal, the author had to leave the book's manuscript behind. He buried it under an olive tree near Lisbon, and rewrote it from memory. Rabbi Sabbe's methods are known for their originality, and were used by many rabbis in subsequent generations.
Refer to the Hebrew catalog text for brief biographies of Rabbi Avraham ben Ya'akov Sabbe and the gaon and Chassid Rabbi Moshe Lipshutz-Chalfin.
[2] 3-165 leaf. 29 cm. Rabbinic owner's inscriptions from the period of printing.
Fine condition. Aging stains. Reinforcement to the margins of the title page and several additional leaves, without damage to text. New binding.
