Description
   Kabbalistic work on signs and omens resulting from astronomic phenomena by R. Isaac ben Solomon Luria (Ari). The title page describes as the signs derived from loud sounds and thunder and the effects of the spheres. First printed in Constantinople in the name of the Ari. The text is set in a single column in rabbinic type. Re’ashim u-Re’amim is organized by month. The number of entries average about six to a page. A small number of examples are: In Nissan if there is an eclipse of the moon, numerous disputes will arise in the gentile world and the sword (war) will break out between them and there will be little fruit. In Av if there is a great and unusual thunder there will be great anger in that state with pestilence and plague. There will be war in the east, bandits will proliferate and murder merchants, some will become slaves and small animals will die, and large wild animals such as lions, bears, and leopards will perish.
