Leaf of Sefer HaChezyonot by R. Chaim Vital, handwritten by R. Natan Sternhartz of Breslov (Moharnat), prominent disciple of R. Nachman of Breslov.
Leaf (written on both sides) with a transcript from the book Sefer HaChezyonot by R. Chaim Vital, handwritten by R. Natan of Breslov. The following heading appears at the top of both pages: "Sefer HaChazon – Part II" (this was how R. Natan referred to Sefer HaChezyonot).
Sefer HaChezyonot is the personal diary of R. Chaim Vital (Maharchu) – prominent disciple of the Arizal, in which he records his dreams and visions. In this leaf, R. Chaim Vital recounts revelations he had of the souls of Benayahu ben Yehoyada and Rav Yiba Saba.
R. Natan Sternhartz of Nemirov (Nemyriv) – Moharnat of Breslov (1780-1844), close disciple and disseminator of the teachings of Rebbe Nachman of Breslov, and his successor as leader of Breslov Chassidism. The personification of a disciple, R. Natan revealed and disseminated the teachings of R. Nachman throughout the world. He arranged and published his teacher's works (including: Likutei Moharan, Sefer HaMidot, Sipurei Maasiot, and others). Reputedly, R. Nachman once declared that if not for R. Natan, not even one leaf of his writings would have survived. R. Natan's own compositions elucidate and explain the teachings of R. Nachman.
