summary
Seder HaYom is a halachic-kabbalistic work which describes, according to its introduction, "the order one should follow in his days and nights, on Shabbats and holidays, the order of the entire year when sitting at home and walking on the way, when retiring and rising". It is the source of many currently practiced customs, including the Modeh Ani prayer.
Moshe ben Machir headed, in Ein Zeitun, a traditional Yeshivah - in contrast to the many Kabbalistic societies operating during this time. After being threatened by a band of Muslims in 1601, he moved the Yeshivah to nearby Safed.
ff. 120. Few leaves with repaired worming, stained in places. later vellum-backed boards, worn. 4to.
