Peri Etz Hadar, The Fruit of the Goodly Tree, 1728, is an anonymous Lurianic Kabbalistic primary text on the ritual use of the etrog; the atlas records no named author because the work circulated within the Lurianic school without one. Its strength is that it is the primary liturgical source itself for a specific ritual practice, not a later description of it. Its limit is the ordinary one for an anonymous school text: its authorship within the Lurianic circle cannot be narrowed further, and it should be read as that school's own devotional composition, not independent historical analysis.
