Seventy Tikkunim Arrangements/Rectifications of the Zohar

Composed by the divine Tanna Mishnaic sage Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, may the memory of the righteous be for a blessing:

The editions printed in the year 5418 1658 CE were no longer to be found at all, until there arose here a living man who gathered the scattered parts of the printing, including both new and old Tikkunim. The hearts of the wise were not at rest until a proper edition was established based on the book Derech Emet The Way of Truth. The reputation of the master Kabbalist student of Jewish mysticism has already spread through his lovely book Shavcha de-Rigla Praise of the Festival, the crown of perfection, and the book Derech Yeshara The Straight Path. Now he has again extended his hand to holy works and prepared for himself and his community the book Chemdat Tzvi Desire of the Deer, a choice work for all who take refuge in it. Within it are revealed hidden unifications and secret matters?. He is the great Rabbi, the Kabbalist, the pious and godly man of understanding, the famous Sage, Nehemiah Hayyun. He knows how to interpret the Torah according to the "seventy faces" The tradition that the Torah has seventy levels of interpretation. He is the son of the pious master, Pinhas Hayyun, of blessed memory, from Constantinople, who prepared these holy works to bring people closer to the holiness of the divine?.
