Manuscript with Ornamental Title Page – Prayerbook for the Kohen for the High Holidays and Kiddush Levana – Amsterdam, 18th/19th Century
Manuscript, "Book for a Kohen who leaves his place to bless the congregation for Birkat Kohanim, Ashkenazi rite". With Kiddush Levana (sanctification of the moon). Amsterdam, [18th/19th century].
Title within ornamental archway decorated with priestly hands, a lion and fish. Particularly fine calligraphic script. Each page is set within a red ruled border.
The manuscript comprises sections of the siddur and piyyutim recited by the congregation and the Kohanim during the cantor's repetition of the Amidah prayers on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. For the use of the Kohen just before and after Birkat Kohanim (when he is unable to hold a machzor). The manuscript begins with HaYom Harat Olam (at the end of the blessing of Shofarot), and includes Areshet Sefatenu, VeTe'arev Lefanecha, Modim DeRabbanan, Yehi Ratzon before Birkat Kohanim, the text of Birkat Kohanim, Ribbono Shel Olam, HaYom TeAmetzenu (the prayer "Avinu Malkenu Kaleh Dever VeCherev…" is not included in this manuscript, in accordance with the custom of most Western-Ashkenazi congregations to not recite this passage).
Kiddush Levana was included at the end of the volume, with a separate title page: "Order of Kiddush Levana – on Yom Kippur eve, as one leaves the synagogue, one customarily sanctifies the moon".
Ink on paper. 5; 4 leaves. 17.5 cm. Very good condition. Stains and minor tears. Fine binding, with damage.
