SummaryCod. hebr. 448 is a single parchment sheet classical ilan. According to Maximilian de Molière, it was likely copied by Francesco Parnas for Johann Albrecht Widmanstetter around 1537. During that period, Parnas was occupied with copying a number of kabbalistic manuscripts for Widmanstetter, including zoharic materials (Cod. hebr. 217-219). The ilan is a relatively straight-forward copy of a type that by then had been in circulation for at least a century. Cod.hebr. 448 is also of the same family as the classical ilan that Knorr von Rosenroth included in the in the second apparatus of the first volume of “Kabbala denudata” under the title “Clavis sublimioris Kabbalae, de ordine divinorum Nominum pro resolutione difficiliorum Aenigmatum Libri Sohar”.
