Large Handwritten Board – Songs for the Somech Noflim Yeshiva – Italy, 1797
Large handwritten board, songs by R. Yechiel HaKohen [of Ancona], recited in the Somech Noflim yeshiva. [Italy (Ancona)?], 1797.
Two large leaves mounted onto a cardboard sheet on both sides. Square Italian script, in black ink, with titles and initials in red ink. The second leaf bears two colored illustrations of flowers.
The title of the first leaf reads: "These songs were composed by R. Yechiel HaKohen, to be said every night in the Somech Noflim yeshiva, sponsored by R. Michael son of R. Yosef Morgio and R. David Baruch Perugia in 1797".
The board contains six songs, for each day of the week (not listed in Davidson's Thesaurus of Mediaeval Hebrew Poetry). The board concludes with a "Prayer to be recited before studying".
R. Yechiel HaKohen mentioned here is presumably R. Yechiel son of R. Yaakov HaKohen, dean of the Ancona yeshiva. (When the Chida came to Ancona, R. Yechiel delivered a sermon in his honor in the synagogue, and he is referred to in the Chida's travel diary Maagal Tov as "the elderly rabbi, R. Yechiel HaKohen". His responsa are quoted in Pachad Yitzchak and Shemesh Tzedaka. He immigrated to Eretz Israel in his later years and settled in Jerusalem).
