Segula for Protection: Raziel HaMalach First Edition; Amsterdam, 1701.
Early Kabbalistic sefer regarding maters such as the Heavenly Army, creation of the world, names of the angels, spirits, demons and amulets.
Possessing this holy sefer is a verified segula for protection, as written on the title page of this first edition:
"For all of Israel it is a segula, for wise and intelligent children, and for success and blessing, and to extinguish fires, and to keep away any demon and harm from your dwelling. Anyone who possesses this holy and awesome sefer concealed and hidden with his silver and gold in his treasures, will be speedily saved when in trouble. And all Torah-observant Jews will attest to this."
This first edition was published in Amsterdam, 1701, and includes an illustrated title page and sketches in the body of the sefer. The sefer is bound in beautiful leather with gold inscriptions.
45 leaves | 23 cm | Leather binding | Very good condition
