At the end of the Braginsky copy, in a cursive Ashkenazic hand of the second half of the sixteenth century, David of Fla [?] copied from “a wonderful book” a small part of the introduction to the early fourteenth-century mystic Moses ben Eleazar’s commentary to Shi’ur Komah (Measure of the Body [of God]). This text belongs to the “Unique Cherub Circle,” an Ashkenazic school of mystics and esoterics. As established by Daniel Abrams and Benjamin Richler, only one other manuscript containing a similar text is known, copied in 1583 by Elijah Loanz (Zurich, Zentralbibliothek, MS Heid. 102; see cat. no. 27). At the end David admits to having copied this text, “which I do not understand,” because he did not want to tear the book apart or burn it, perhaps on account of its controversial content. Paper, quarto, 140 leaves, 236 × 176 mm (9.3 × 6.9 in.), old linen binding- Owner
