summary

This order is different than the standard version. According to Scholem this tract follows the order instituted by Shabbatai Tzvi’s “prophet” Nathan of Gaza.The Sabbathians could not recite the standard version, as in their opinion the Shechinah is no longer in exile with the advent of Shabbetai Tzvi.The poem on f. 53 was comosed by Yosef Karmy Davidson, Otzar,.p.281, no. 6152. With addendum Derech Yashar on Repentence.
