Bookseller Notes

A beautifully printed edition of the first clearly recognizable work of Christian kabbalah, which first appeared in 1487, translated into Latin with a commentary by Paulus de Heredia, a Jewish Christian convert from Aragon, and was taken from the original texts purportedly by Rabbi Neumia ben Haccana, who lived just before the time of Jesus, prophesying the arrival of the Messiah, and his son, confirming the birth and life of Jesus.
