First Edition of the Sacred Zohar! Three Volumes. Mantua, 1559. Glosses
Sefer HaZohar by the G-dly Kabbalist Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai. Three volumes: Vayikra, Bamidbar and Devarim. Precise Mantua edition - first edition of Sefer HaZohar. Mantua, 1559. Incomplete copies.
First edition of Sefer HaZohar, the same edition from which the Ar"i HaKadosh and his disciples studied! Handwritten Kabbalistic glosses all along these copies, as well as four complete pages in Italian script from the time of printing. The glosses are not signed, and to our dismay, we do not know who the Kabbalist was who wrote them. Truth be told, there were not many like these in the Ar"i's generation.
As stated, the Ar"i taught his Kabbalistic doctrine to his disciples, led by Rabbi Chaim Vital, from this edition. The Ar"i's glosses are written in the margins of the sheets of Rabbi Chaim Vital's Sefer HaZohar. Rabbi Chaim Vital's notes were included about two hundred years later, in editions of the Zohar that were printed in Constantinople in 1736. However, there were those who objected to inserting changes into the Zohar, such as the author of Mikdash Melech, who questioned "Who is the one who can discern, relying on his opinion and rationale? This is a great danger." However, the Chid"a confirmed that the revisions that came from a sacred source - the Ar"i himself.
The content of the glosses in these copies has not been thoroughly examined and there may be Kabbalistic discoveries. There may also be some hint in the glosses as to the writer's identity.
