Kabbalah. Tola’at Yaakov. Krakow, [1581]

Sefer Tola’at Yaakov, fundamental elucidation on the order of Tefillos according to Pardes by kabbalist Rabbi Meir ibn Gabai.

Rabbi Meir ibn Gabai (c.1480-1539) was a prominent kabbalist from the era of the Spanish expulsion. This is a fundamental kabbalistic commentary on the tefillot.

The Shelah copied many snippets from this work. He wrote in his introduction, “I am only trying to reveal a little of the little that I received from authors and books that continue from the Zohar, especially from …the G-dly Rabbi Meir Gabai z”l and the G-dly Mahram Cordovero …and the G-dly Arizal.

Pedigreed copy. Bears the stamp of Rabbi Yisrael Deutsch av”d Yarmut, author of Ben Garni, son of the author of Goren David.
