Bina LaItim, prayers and study arrangements for various times according to Moroccan (Maghreb) rite, by (the anthologist) Avraham son of Mordechai Ankawa. Amsterdam, [1841].
The book includes: Kabbalistic kavanot for the blowing of the Shofar according to the teachings of the Arizal, prayers and tikkunim for the High Holidays, annulment of vows and curses, prayers for circumcisions, prayers and songs for Simchat Torah, additional lamentations for Tisha B'Av (including the lamentations of the sages of Morocco), and more.
The verso of the title page contains a signature in Sephardic (Western) script: "I, the young Yaakov Abuchatzeira". On the subsequent leaf, an additional signature appears: "Yitzchak Abuchatzeira". We were not able to ascertain whether the signatures belong to the kabbalists R. Yaakov Abuchatzeira - the Abir Yaakov, and his son R. Yitzchak Abuchatzeira.
The book contains inscriptions and additional signatures from Morocco. Inscriptions on the title page: "In the memory of R. Avraham Maman". Stamps of "David son of Avraham Maman". The back endpaper contains accounting inscriptions with various names, including: "David Maman", "Moshe Gozlan", "Yitzchak Berdugo" and more.
