General note
| In three chapters. In some manuscripts the entire text is called "Hekhalot Rabbati". In this manuscript and a few others only the first 26 chapters (divided in this manuscript into three sections called בבות or עסקאות) are so titled (ff. 69v-85r) and the last part is called שר תורה "Sar Torah" or שר של תורה "Sar shel Torah". On the division of the chapters cf. P. Schäfer, בעיית הזהות העריכתית של ספר "היכלות רבתי" "Jerusalem Studies in Jewish Thought", vi (1987), p. 5. |
