1. Sefer Eshel Avraham, on matters of Kabbalah and commentary on the Zohar. By Rabbi Mordechai Ashkenazi.
Fürth, 1701. First edition.
The title page is illustrated with figures of Moses and Aaron, and the battle of David and Goliath. Numerous approbations at the beginning of the sefer.
In the middle of the book (pages 45-46), there are two pages with "trees" (diagrams). On one page—"The Seven Palaces of Holiness, " and on the opposite page—"The Seven Palaces of Impurity, " along with various kabbalistic diagrams.
Many of the innovations were received by the author from his prominent teacher, the kabbalist Rabbi Avraham Rovigo, which is why he named the work after him, Eshel Avraham. Rabbi Avraham Rovigo (circa 1650–1714) was one of the great Kabbalists of Italy in the 17th century and a devoted student of Rabbi Moshe Zacuto (Ramaz). In his later years, he immigrated to Jerusalem and founded a yeshiva for the study of Kabbalah.
