NotesThis rotulus is a (non-autograph) copy of Coppio's ilan and opens with the phrase “Said the compiler […] of blessed memory.” Like its source, it is a variation of Great Tree type VPaZW, featuring distinctive changes and additions. The rotulus is divided into two columns. A text column, roughly a third of the rotulus's width, runs alongside the diagrammatic presentation--as if it were a commentary--but does not reference it. A diagram that merges two classical sefirotic diagrams is the opening figure of the rotulus. In this appropriation, the figure represents primordial stages of emanation that precede the World of Aẓilut. This representation was borrowed from Moshe Graf's Va-yakhel Moshe (Moses assembled, Dessau, 1699). The Lurianic “kav ha-Ein Sof” (line of Ein Sof) traverses the rotulus at its center, passing through the various components of the ilan, graphically suggesting that all worlds enrobe the light of Ein Sof.
