Manuscript, Seder Shefar Hatikkun for Yom Kippur - Italy, 1791
Manuscript, "Seder Shefar Hatikkun that holy individuals are accustomed to recite on Yom Kippur eve after the evening prayers". [Italy, 1791].
Manuscript on thick, high-quality paper. Square vowelized script. Illuminated title page. The bottom of the title page contains the inscription "this book was purchased by Mordechai Yosef della Rocca, 1791". The title page states that the Tikkun is taken from Sefer Otzar Nechmad (based on Sefer Chemdat Yamim), "by the honored rabbi of the Omron family", but this text differs from the one in Sefer Otzar Nechmad. The beginning of the tikkun states "this is the organized study for Yom Kippur eve after evening services in Catalan synagogues". At the end of the tikkun, Tractate Yoma is printed in its entirety, as well as a prayer for livelihood. The end of the manuscript contains prayers to be said at dawn on Yom Kippur. The final page states "Kaddish should be said for the souls of the deceased…".
[62] leaves. 20.5 cm. Good condition. Stains. Binding with leather spine; slightly damaged.
