- Title
Clarifying the Obfuscation Surrounding the Reissue of Sefer ha-Kavanot.
- Authors
Heller, Marvin J.
- Abstract
The article focuses on the two editions of "Sefer ha-kavanot," the first published book of the kabbalistic teachings of R. Isaac ben Solomon Luria on meditation, prayer, and proper conduct, and attempts to clarify some of the obfuscation concerning the publication of the second printing of the book. It mentions that the first printing of the Hebrew book was in Venice in 1620 at the press of Pierto and Lorenzo Bragadin in quarto format while the second edition was published after four years of its appearance. It notes that the reprinted book was of interest due to questions concerning the place and circumstances of its printing. It also maintains that reprinting works from earlier editions soon after they were published elsewhere was not an infrequent practice.
