Very rare siddur!

Kabbalistic Siddur Beis Tefillah  with Handwritten Glosses. Salonika, 1807

Siddur Beis Tefillah with prayers  for weekday, Shabbos and festivals, along with special Kabbalistic prayers and  intentions derived from Chemdas  Yamim and the Chid”a.

Very Rare! Due to its popularity  at the time, there are hardly any remaining copies left, especially complete ones .

The National Library in Jerusalem does not posses a copy of this siddur, nor is this prayer book listed in the Hebrew Bibliography.

The siddur  has been recorded in Winograd’s Otzar  Hasefer Ha’Ivri based on the  present copy (which appeared in Judaica catalog in Spring, 1988 #33).

The pages of the siddur feature  dozens of handwritten glosses, mostly of Kabbalistic nature .It also contains marginalia in Italian script. 

18 handwritten leaves of prayers, customs and segulos are bound to the front and end of the siddur. 

In the beginning of the siddur, at the top of leaf 2b, the annotator writes: “Behold I have discovered these  teachings that [belong] to one of the Kedoshim, who was the great Rabbi, our  Teacher Harav Moshe Zakut, Ztvk”l.” 

On leaf 2b at the end of the  sefer, an additional comment states: “I received this from the Rabbinical  emissary Moreinu Harav Yechezkel Eliezer Aboulafia.

It is a tried and true  segulah for any illness…."  The title page features the  owners’ signature, Avraham David Chai son of Shimson presumably Vivanti, Rabbi  of Ancona. 

Leaves 146a-146b feature Megillas  Antiochus and the story of Yehudis in Ladino.
