Fine Calligraphic Manuscript Kavanot, Prayers and Piyyutim - Italy, 1809 with Decorated Title Pages
Manuscript, on the title page: "Seder Kavanot Shofar in short ... Viduy and prayers, Birkas Cohanim, Tachanunim, Mizmorim and other Kavanos". Fine Italian script integrated with artistic square script and curly script, vowelized and non-vowelized. Title page with an illustrated border, in which it is written "I the young Yonah Menachem Cantoni of Pomponisco in 1809". Separate title page: "Techinot for cemeteries for Rosh Hashana eve...". At its end a table for determining the years for a hundred and twenty years and a table of content.
87 leaves. 18.5X13 cm. Detached sheets. Binding from the period, blemished. Stains. Good general condition.
On the flyleaf, a notation in square letters: "Yeshaya Halevi". Throughout the manuscript, some corrections in slightly later script. In the prayer for Shochnei Afar, the corrector changed the version from the plural to the singular and added at its end: "These deceased Shlomo Avraham Chai Fano", possibly the previous owner of the manuscript.
