An attractive copy of this classic work, with new corrections plus seven leaves of indices to Bible and Talmud.===Throughout the ages, Chovoth HaLevavoth enjoyed wide popularity in a variety of circles, although in later centuries Eastern European Jews would shy away from the introductory Sha’ar HaYichud, which is of a decidedly philosophical nature, and instead focus on the remainder of the work, centered upon ethical guidance.
