Manuscript name

Great Tree

Summary

The word “ilan” at this ilan's head features decorated large letters with floral ornaments. The figures of Adam Kadmon, Arikh Anpin, and Zeir Anpin are depicted schematically, with micrographic text arranged in a pattern suggesting a human face. The Pr component in this Great Tree is a variant of P in which the sequence of emanation is presented in an apparently disrupted order. The World of Asiyah is represented with concentric circles. The title at its head attributes it to “the kabbalist rabbi […] Meir Katz Poppers […].”
