- About the MS:
- This Shandukh ilan, which is over ten meters long, opens with a unique, complex sequence of miniature arboreal diagrams that, taken together, are meant to represent Adam Kadmon. Shandukh notes that the “ten complete parẓufim” it contains are each composed of ten sefirot and that this fractal pattern continues infinitely: “each and every sefirah is composed of ten, endlessly."" The continuation of the ilan includes a visualization of the Saruqian World of Nekudot, comprising several diagrams inspired by the opening of Moshe Graf's Va-yakhel Moshe (Moses assembled, Dessau, 1699). Then follows a compact recapitulation of the first part of the ilan before the subsequent stages of emanation are represented.
