This is a three part work on ethics by R. Raphael ben Gabriel Norzi (Norsa, da Norcia, 1520 - 1583?). Norzi writes that he was motivated to write these books to serve the religious needs of the public. He writes that although others preceded him, he wrote this work because most men have neither the time nor the training to master many learned works, and cannot swim in the mighty waters. R. Norzi offers what he terms a summary of the best thought on religion and conduct for those who wish to improve their understanding in these fields. These works represent a unified approach: Se'a Solet on the essentials of life; Marpe la-Nefesh on fundamental concepts; and Orah Hayyim on ethics. Underlying all is the belief that faith is of central importance, as philosophy cannot supply a firm foundation for Jewish spirituality. The second work is Marpe la-Nefesh (healing of the soul). There is a preface on the verso of the title page and the text begins on 16a, concluding on 40b. The text is in a single column in rabbinic type. Additional scans available upon request.
