Sefer Yetzirah with Ramban, Dunash ben Tamim & Asher ben David commentaries — Rome, 1284

Rome, 1284 · Bibliothèque nationale de France — Hébreu 763

Sefer Yetzirah — the oldest extant work of Jewish mystical thought, traditionally attributed to Avraham Avinu — copied in Rome in 1284, accompanied by three medieval kabbalistic commentaries: that of Dunash ben Tamim (10th-c. North Africa), R' Asher ben David (early Provençal Kabbalist, grandson of the Ra'avad), and the Ramban (R' Moshe ben Nachman, 1194–1270). The volume is a major textual witness for the long recension of Sefer Yetzirah and one of the earliest documented copies of the Ramban's commentary on it. 68 parchment folios. Held at the Bibliothèque nationale de France (Hébreu 763); digitized through the joint Gallica / National Library of Israel / Friedberg Jewish Manuscript Society Ktiv project. A downloadable PDF facsimile is also available.
