Lot: Two very important works of kabbalah—Etz Hayyim (Koritz?) and Pri Etz Hayyim with two handwritten leaves. 1818.
1. Pri Etz Hayyim written by Rabbi Haim Vittel, what he heard from his rabbi the Ari (Rabbi Yitzhak Luria Ashkenazi), Harovshov/Loshzov 1818. At the end two leaves are filled in by hand, very nice handwriting. Originally [1], 95 leaves, this copy is missing the title page and two leaves from the end which, as stated, have been filled in by hand. Hole with missing text on five last leaves, otherwise very good condition.
2. Etz Hayyim from Rabbi Vittel, what he heard from his rabbi the Ari (Rabbi Yitzhak Luria Ashkenazi), Harovshov/Loshzov 1818. Originally [1], 101 leaves. Missing the title page (filled in via facsimile). Tear with missing bit on leaf 94, small hole with missing part to the last leaf, stains, otherwise very good condition.
These books were printed in a few different variations, some have the location of printing as Harovshov, others as Loshzov or Koritz, and there are copies in which the printer mark has been elided entirely. Yaari writes that the true place of printing was Loshzov, against Mohlman who claims that it was printed in Harovshov.
Both books have stamps of the gvir Reuven Yisrael HaLevi Frankel of Kolish, who had a large and important library of sifrei kodesh.
