Avraham Azulai. Or haHammah Kiryat Arba Zohar.
Bet Eked 1135
Azulai’s numerous writings were not published during his lifetime. Those books he had written while still in Fez, were lost at sea. He wrote three treatises on the Zohar: (1) Or ha-Levanah (“The Light of the Moon”), annotations and textual corrections based sometimes on conjecture and sometimes on early manuscripts (1899); (2) Or ha-Ḥammah (“The Light of the Sun”), a complete commentary on the Zohar (completed 1619 and published 1896–98), based mainly on Cordovero’s book and also on Luria’s commentary, and on a commentary on the Zohar by Ḥayyim Vital written before he knew Luria, and marginal notes on the Zohar by an unknown author.
