☕️ The "Rambam of Poland" made the Shulḥan Arukh acceptable to Ashkenazi Jewry with his glosses, also creating original works of Halakhah and harmonizing Kabbalah with his rationalist interests.
Re: the glosses/commentary of the Rema to the Zohar, they're not lost! There's a newly-published ed. of Zohar (so far just vol. 1, publisher is called something like אור הרשב״י) which contains at least some of the material. (Couldn't find the front matter online, but here's a link: https://seforimplace.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=13931)
Great to see your posts again, and looking forward to reading about the Acharonim.
Where can I find the Toafot Reim on the Moreh Nevuchim? I've heard all sorts of rumors about the Rema's various glosses on the Moreh but have never found them.
By the way, I was recently researching R' Abba Mari's Minchat Kenaot, and in addition to your series here about the Rambam controversies, I learned a lot from your dissertation on that amazing work that I found on your website. Thank you!

Yes! Another reader tells me there is a forthcoming article in AJS Review about the manuscript of the Rema's Zohar commentary as well.
Great article and thanks for sharing.
