POLEMIC. MIGDAL DOVID ON MEGILLAS RUS, AMSTERDAM, 1680, ONLY EDITION This book is a Kabbalistic commentary on Megillat Ruth. It was edited by the Kabbalist Rabbi David Lida Av beis Din of Amsterdam and Worms. The book provoked heated controversy, the claim being that he hid the identity of its true author, Rabbi Chaim Hacohen of Aram Tzova, author of Tur Bareket, a disciple of Rabbi Chaim Vital [Rabbi Chaim Hacohen is implied only in the foreword of this book. In following generations, the Yavetz and the Chida also criticized this].
