Manuscript, Bechinat HaKabbala, contains two works: Kol Sachal and Sha'agat Aryeh, by Rabbi Yehuda Aryeh of Modena, with Part Two "Bechinat HaKabbala", containing research and comments on these books, by the publisher Yashar [Yitzchak Shlomo Rigio]. According to this manuscript, the book was printed in Gorizia in 1852. Possibly, it is in Yashar's handwriting. (Differs slightly from printed version).
