Manuscript. Prayers for the Entire Year, with Moroccan Customs. Hundred of Pages. Exceptionally rare!
Manuscript. Prayers for the entire year.
Shalom ben Moshe Kakun. Written in 1899, and completed in 1911.
The author, Shalom ben Moshe Kakun, lived in Oulad Berehil, a southern Moroccan town about 140 Km away from Agadir. He is possibly the son of the great Rabbi Mordechai Kakun, a Dayan in the town Marcharish. Rabbi Mordechai authored the book ‘She’erit Yosef’ whose manuscript is in the National Library [000061742YBZ].
The page count is disordered. Hundreds of pages! Includes printed sections affixed to them.
The author writes in two handwriting styles, square Eastern, and ‘Chatzi-Kolmus’ which is a type of cursive script used by Spanish communities.
The opening part of the book is a section of Psalms in square writing. This is followed by a section with some of ‘Sukka’, Blessings, ‘Tikkun Shovavim’, additional prayers, eulogies, with translation of prayers in Moroccan-Arabic. Also included is piyyutim and songs according to Moroccan custom, yearly calendars including for a leap year. This book is brimming with different prayers. It includes customs of the “Trodanti” communities - these were originally Spanish communities that transplanted to Morocco and preserved their previous homeland’s customs.
