Yemenite Manuscript - Book of Haphtarot with Translation - 1762
Sefer Haftarot, with a handwritten translation. Yemen, 1762.
Ancient Yemenite handwriting. The haftarot are vowelized. The translation appears after each verse. Includes the haphtaroth for Rosh Hashana and the festivals.
The Song of Devorah (the haftarah of Parshat Beshalach) and the Song of David (the haftarah of the Seventh day of Pesach) are written "ariach al gabei levena (like bricks on a white space)", the way they were originally written on parchment.
(Next to the haftarah for Tisha B'Av a small page is enclosed "Lamentation on the Ten Martyrs" which begins: "Az Babeit Shivyeinu", and the prayer "Hashem Mi Magi'a Ad Tachlit Chochmatcha". The prayers are vowelized.
4 pages.
Condition: Poor. Moth damage.)
At the end of the book, after the blessings on the haftarah, is a colophon: "This haftarah was completed with the help of the One who dwells in Heaven, on the twenty second day of the month of Iyar of the year B'A'G…I…the young one Saadia ben David Halevi Alkochbani".
Handwritten additions from different periods.
146 pages.
22.5cm.
