Collection of biblical passages, eighteenth century
Scope and Contents
'Synopsis celeberrimi illius codicis cabbalistici qui vulgo dicitur Liber Sohar per novendecim titulos generales distributa. Auctore R. Iisascher F. Naphtali sacerdote'. This is a collection of remarkable passages from the Bible, or references to them, classed under nineteen headings. The passages under each heading are arranged according to the books of Moses, from the commentaries to which the passages are extracted. The intention of the compiler seems to have been the illustration of the New Testament. The handwriting is similar to that of MS Ff.05.02.
