summary
An important early kabbalistic prayer-book with Lurianic kavanoth based upon the writings of R. Moshe Zacuto.

David Meldola. The importance of these additions are highlighted in the approbation of Meldola’s father, the chief Rabbi of Bayonne, France.
8vo. ff. [4],112, 213-277, 142 (Vinograd mistakenly writes 124) Contemporary calf backed boards, rubbed, chipped and loose. Owners signature Pinchas b. Abraham Rocca.
