Sefer Yetzirah – Korets, 1779
Sefer Yetzirah, attributed to Avraham Avinu, with a commentary [by R. Moshe HaGoleh MiKiev], edited and brought to print by R. Shimon Ashkenazi and R. Shlomo of Lutsk. Korets, [1779].
A classic kabbalistic work. One of the first kabbalistic books printed in Russia.
The name of the author is not stated in the book, though his "great composition" (referring to Shoshan Sodot) is mentioned on the title page. In Shoshan Sodot, the author is described as a disciple of the Ramban, however in truth, the author is R. Moshe son of R. Yaakov HaGoleh MiKiev (1449-1520?), who lived in Lithuania, Kiev and Crimea. In 1495, the Jews were expelled from Kiev, and R. Moshe went into exile, thus his name "HaGoleh MiKiev".
