– Roots of the Names Shorshei Ha-Shemot –
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 reputation of a great scholar, and a Moshe Zacuto studying in the Beit Midrash in 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 (practical ), and a standard reference for meditation Kabbalah ), 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

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 Kamea s 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 techniques beforehand, which put those tools at work. A special thanks to Talib Din for his support support in editing this book and making it ready for the print.
