Description

Manuscript written in Hebrew and Aramaic, in an impressively bold, large Italian square and rabbinic hand. Title-page within colorful pillars surmounted by geometrical designs.

summary

A most attractive manuscript. Prayers recited at the blowing of the shofar on Rosh Hashana, with detailed kabbalistic meditations while blowing. Includes instructions for the Ba’al Tokeah, the kavanoth of the Sefiroth and their connection to the names of the forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Italian congregations were very scrupulous concerning kabbalistic kavanoth during the blowing of the shofar.

ff. 27. Contemporary calf-backed patterned boards, slightly rubbed. Folio.
