Moses Cordevero, Pardes Rimmonim, 16, 34a

Jewish Mysticism
The [attribute of] Malkhut is called ‘atarah. She is not called this except when she ascends to Keter, and there she is a crown on the head of her husband, the glorious crown (‘ateret tif’eret). Thus she is a crown on the head of every righteous person, and she is the crown on the Torah scroll.

Translated by Elliot Wolfson in, “Coronation of the Sabbath Bride- Kabbalistic Myth and the Ritual of Androgynisation,” Journal of Jewish Thought and Philosophy 6 (1997)- 301-344.
