Manuscript, Mishnat Chassidim by Rabbi Emanuel Chai Riki, Seder Lel Pesach; Sefer HaKavanot by Rabbi Chaim Vital - Maharchu [North Africa, 18th century].

· Masechet Seder Lel Pesach, the Haggadah and a Kabbalistic commentary, from the book Mishnat Chassidim, by Rabbi Emanuel Chai Riki (square semi-cursive Sephardic script). Ends in the middle, after explaining the 10 plagues. [5] pages of remazim and kavanot of the stages (simanim) of the Seder (beginning with Karpas), precede this composition.
· Sefer HaKavanot of the Maharchu. Contains some kavanot for the morning prayer, with two articles on Purim in the middle: "The meaning of Purim by R' Chaim Vital", and "Nice homily for Purim from the Ari…". (Attractive "Western" cursive script).
Three leaves were enclosed to the end of the volume in a later writing (19th century), with two eulogies of the sage Rabbi Mordechai Elmashali. One has an acrostic: "David bar HaKadosh…HaRav HaRamach…".
[54] leaves (Mishnat Chassidim and Sefer HaKavanot) + [3] leaves (eulogies). Approximately 20 cm. Fair condition. Stains and wear. Open tears and damages to several leaves affecting the text. Worn damaged binding.
