MS. Reggio 31 — Tikkunim ḥadashim (autographe Ramhal)

Major manuscript of the Ramhal (Moshe Ḥayyim Luzzatto, 1707-1747), the Paduan kabbalist, containing the Tikkunim ḥadashim — “New Corrections,” a kabbalistic composition in the tradition of the Zohar. The manuscript includes an autograph of the Ramhal on folio 123, dated 1734, and was copied by Jacob Shalom in Padua around 1730. It is one of the flagship pieces of the Reggio collection and a foremost witness to the Ramhal's kabbalistic œuvre.
