Manuscript leaf, from the book Pri Etz Chaim by R. Chaim Vital, handwritten in 1933 by the holy kabbalist R. Yisrael Abuchatzeira – the Baba Sali, from which he regularly studied.
Enclosed are two reports confirming the authenticity of the manuscript. One is from his son R. Baruch Abuchatzeira (Baba Baruch), attesting that the composition was copied by his father "and it remained with him, and he would read it often, primarily on Shabbat".
The second report, from the expert R. Yosef Avivi, pertains to the entire manuscript. He quotes the colophon at the end of the manuscript (not included in this item), signed by Baba Sali, in which Baba Sali attests that he copied this holy book himself in 1933. R. Avivi notes that the style of writing changes over the course of the manuscript and that these variations are typical of original manuscripts by the Baba Sali.
