Tzror HaMor. Kabbalah. Venice 1546. Magnificent Copy/ With signature of R. Avrohom Ha’Levi of Chelm
Kabbalistic commentary to the Torah by R. Avrohom Saba.
R. Avrohom Saba (1440-1508), learned under R. Yitzchok Di Leon and was exiled in 1492 from his native Castile. No sooner did he find refuge in Oporto, Portugal, then King Emanuel ordered all Jews converted and all Hebrew books burned. His sons were forcibly baptized and his extensive library plundered. He escaped to Fez, Morocco, where he rewrote this sefer from memory.
The CHIDA in Shem HaGedolim, quotes a remarkable episode about R. Avrohom Saba. On a journey from Fez to Verona he became sick on the ship in mid-ocean during a great storm. The captain, unable to control the ship, had given up all hope and implored him to pray for divine assistance. R. Avrohom stipulated that in case of his death his body should be delivered to the Jewish community of Verona, and then prayed for the safety of the vessel. The storm abated, and the ship went safely on. Two days later he died, and the captain, keeping his promise, brought the body to Verona, where it was buried with great honors.
With signature of R. Avrohom Ha’Levi of Chelm, Rav of Emden and Hildesheim. One of the greatest rabbinical leaders of his time, he corresponded with the Chacham Tzvi and is mentioned in Teshuvos Noda B’Yehuda. With additional rabbinical dedications.
