Summary Annotation. The first English translation by the Spanish-Turkish Kabbalist, R. Meir ibn Gabbai (1480-ca. 1540). It is the most systematic treatment of the Sabbath in classical Kabbala, and a summary of an era of Kabbalistic study. Includes critical commentary and biographical notes on the author. A dense work, to be studied and referred to rather than read through. A companion to The Sabbath in the classical Kabbalah, above. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
