Zohar - Contents

Contents

The Zohar and Tikunei haZohar, separately, were printed in Hebrew year 5318 (c. 1558 CE), in Mantua. When they were printed there were many partial manuscripts in circulation that were not available to the first printers. These were later printed as "Zohar Chadash," but Zohar Chadash actually contains parts that pertain to the Zohar, and also contains Tikunim (plural of Tikun, "Repair") that are akin to Tikunei haZohar, as described below. "Zohar" can refer to just the first Zohar collection, with or without the applicable sections of Zohar Chadash, or to the entire Zohar and Tikunim. When pages or volume numbers in the Zohar are referred to, they conventionally follow the pagination or the three-volume partitioning of the Mantua edition. Citation can be made by parashah and page number, or by volume and page number.

Famous quotes containing the word contents:

    If one reads a newspaper only for information, one does not learn the truth, not even the truth about the paper. The truth is that the newspaper is not a statement of contents but the contents themselves; and more than that, it is an instigator.
    Karl Kraus (1874–1936)

    How often we must remember the art of the surgeon, which, in replacing the broken bone, contents itself with releasing the parts from false position; they fly into place by the action of the muscles. On this art of nature all our arts rely.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    To be, contents his natural desire;
    He asks no Angel’s wing, no Seraph’s fire;
    But thinks, admitted to that equal sky,
    His faithful dog shall bear him company.
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
