xxx Shorshei Ha-Shemot – Roots of the Names
Preface
Rabbi Moshe ben Mordechai Zacuto, also known as the
Ramaz, was probably born around 1620, but the exact
year is still unclear. Some claim that he was born in 1625,
while some others say that he was not born later than
1612. A possible homonymy further complicated things, for
there is evidence of a Moshe Zacuto in Venice in 1645,
with the reputation of a great scholar, and a Moshe Zacuto
studying in the Beit Midrash in Amsterdam in 1651.
Y. Melkman (Mozes Zacuto en Zijn Familie, Studia
Rosenthaliana 3, no. 2, 1969, pages 145-155) attempted a
reconstruction, and said: Zacuto was born shortly after the
year 1610, apparently in Amsterdam. He learned in the
Beit Midrash “Talmud Torah” that his father was amongst
its founders. In the year 1621, the family moved to
Hamburg. Since there was no Beit Midrash there, Zacuto
traveled to Poland. In 1642, he lived in Hamburg, and
thought about Aliyah to Eretz Israel. In 1647 or 1648 he
arrived in Venice and proofread Hebrew books.
What is more undisputed, is that he was a great Italian
kabbalist and scholar. He had an exceptional knowledge,
and wrote a number of important treatises.
Shorshei Ha-Shemot is considered still today the most
authoritative compilation about Kabbalah Ma’asit (practical
Kabbalah), and a standard reference for meditation
exercises, spells, amulets, etc.; Zacuto collects
alphabetically and explains all the holy names, their origin,
and their powers. He also gives clear instructions to
perform Yechudim (Unions) according to the lurianic
tradition, which he learned directly by the emissaries of
Safed who came in Italy. He strives to find every possible
Shorshei Ha-Shemot – Roots of the Names xxxi
use and meaning in every ancient manuscript that he could
locate, up to the descriptions of the Angelic Alphabets.
The reader will find a remedy for every situation.
Sometimes he will be advised to use a plant, sometimes to
recite a specific evocation, and sometimes he will have to
write a name on a Kosher parchment, wash it with water,
and then drink the water. Every recipe is different, and it is
difficult to summarize them in few words.
The explanation of a name often follows the typical
kabbalistic exegesis, which employs Gematria (the
numerical value of a word) and many permutation
techniques. Starting from a specific verse in the Torah, a
name is extracted, and through different techniques it is
expanded, in order to develop its meaning.
Studying the beautiful Kameas can lead to a better
understanding of how they are actually built. Sometimes, a
diagram is used to symbolize a specific situation. Other
times, a square subdivided in many squares is used. Inside
each square goes a letter, and every line is a name.
Descending, the name is permuted, or becomes another
name. In this way, the holy forces are called and asked to
modify reality accordingly.
To understand this scholarly work properly, a basic
knowledge of the Hebrew language and kabbalistic
techniques is assumed. The recipes and the amulets will
have no effect, if the apprentice will not master the spiritual
techniques beforehand, which put those tools at work.
A special thanks to Talib Din for his support in editing this
book and making it ready for the print.
