Sifra/ Toras Kohanim on Vayikra, the personal copy of R. Chaim Yosef Dovid Azulai, CHIDA.
On the title page there are numerous signatures, some are erased. On the upper left part of the depicted arch one can make out the words “I have purchased with my money to serve my Master, Chaim Yosef Dovid Azulai S”T”. Beside that signed inscription is a large calligraphic curl in which is, the name “Chaim Yosef Dovid”. Additionally, on the reverse side of the title page there is a gloss possibly handwritten by the CHIDA.
