Abraham Joseph Solomon Graziano (Ish Ge’r) copy with his signature on title. ff. 79. Browned, signed by censors at end. Bound in Valmadonna-custom blind-tooled maroon morocco, spine in compartments and titled in gilt. Sm. 4to. Vinograd, Prague 170. Prague: Gershom ben Bezalel Katz 1609 Focuses upon the role Kabbalah plays in determining mainstream Halachic practice - a subject that has been debated for centuries. As opposed to philosophy, seen by many as the Zohar’s opposite, Kabbalah is on the one hand esoteric and thus not for the masses, yet intrinsically, it takes Halachic positions based upon mainstream practice which is of course common to all.
