Tikunei HaZohar of the Chida - Unique Copy Made Especially for the Chida, Printed by Castello and Saadon in Livorno, 1789 - Handwritten Glosses
Tikunei HaZohar, by R. Shimon Bar Yochai, with the commentary of R. Moshe Zacuto - the Remez. Livorno: Castello and Saadon, [1789]. First edition to include the commentary of the Remez.
Unique copy printed especially for the Chida, by his disciples and associates, Torah scholars of Livorno, who were involved in the publication of this edition: the publishers - R. Yaakov Nunes Vais (rabbi of Livorno) and R. Avraham Alnakar (who inserted fourteen of his piyyutim in this edition), and the printers - the partners R. Avraham Yitzchak Castello and R. Eliezer Saadon (most of the works of the Chida were printed in their press).
The title page features a special inscription: "Printed for the outstanding Torah scholar… R. Chaim Yosef David Azulai…". The inscription was included in the present copy only. Other copies of this edition feature a decorative element instead.
Inscriptions on the title page. Several glosses in Sephardic script on p. 73b (somewhat resembling the handwriting of the Chida). Several brief glosses on other leaves.
