Siddur Nehora Ha'Shalem – Dozens of Long Handwritten Scholarly Glosses by Rabbi Avatz mantzur, One of the Rabbis of Yemen in the 19th – 20th Centuries
Prayer book for year-round use with "Nehora Ha'Shalem", the Ya'avetz commentary and "Derech Chaim". The Sephard version. Editor: Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Neter, who died in the year the Siddur was printed. Wein, 1879.
Originally there were two sections of the Siddur which were bound together. Section A: prayers for the days of the week and for Sabbath. Section B: Yom Kippur Katan, the three pilgrimage festival, Rosh Ha'Shana, Yom Kippur, Hosha'anot, Slichot and Yitzrot, Tehilim and Ma'amdot. At the end of the volume, Kinot for Tisha Be'Av with a separate title page.
A rare edition, is not listed by the Bibliography of the Hebrew Book and does not appear in the National Library.
On the title page of the book, an inscription: "I have bought with my money … Auatsh Mantzur…"
On the Forsazt leaves and among the leaves of the book, dozens of glosses and novellae as well as many corrections handwritten by him.
Throughout the Siddur there are many notes with prayers and passages from the Zohar in nice, early script. On one of the notes, the blessings of the Kiddushin and a summary of the related laws. It seems that the owner of the Siddur was a Mesader Chupah and carried the note with him.
On the inner binding, a (damaged) leaf is glued taken from Sefer Meir Enayim, Venice edition 1547.
Rabbi Mantzur Auatsh was one of the rabbis of Aden in the 19th-20th centuries.
