First Edition Sefer Chareidim, Venice 1591
First edition Sefer Chareidim authored by Rabbi Elazar Azikri, one of the greatest Kabbalists of Tzfas in the generation of the Ar"i and Ramak.
Rabbi Elazar edited this
sefer in 1588 for the Kabbalists of the "Sukkas Shalom" group organized by him. The
sefer uniquely lists all of the
mitzvos based on their affiliated organ; all
mitzvos which depend on the heart, the eyes, the hands, etc. He also expounds on the
mitzvos which are dependent on Eretz Yisrael whilst incorporating various Kabbalistic ideas and moral rebuke.
His famed composition, "Yedid Nefesh, " appears in this
sefer for the first time (page 43a) with several significant variations to the popular text.
