Seder Tefillot Me'ulot - year-round siddur according to the Sephardi rite. Venice, [1702-1703]. Pocket edition.
Includes "Tikum Chatzot cited by R. Moshe Zacuto, with a few laws and novellae". An introduction to Tikun Chatzot appears on p. 213a: "The version of Tikun Chatzot was fixed and received from the elder pious and self-effacing R. Binyamin Levi who transmitted it 'mouth to mouth' to R. Moshe Zacuto who by faithful tradition received it from the disciples of the Ari…".
12 leaves of handwritten prayers were bound at the end of the siddur: Two in semi-cursive Italian script with the version of Mi SheBerach for marriages and for circumcisions, and ten leaves in neat (vowelized) square script containing various prayers: Kabblistic prayers to add to the Shacharit prayer, a prayer to recite "before delivering a sermon in public", blessing for a guest, etc. The last prayer incorporates the names of the brothers "Moshe Chaim and Aharon Chai, Cohanim, sons of Shoshana, they and their wives and children and their entire families…" [The identity of the writer and for whom these leaves were written remains obscure, however, we assume that he was a rabbi who delivered public sermons].
55, 57-220 leaves (lacking leaf 56) + [12] handwritten leaves. Leaf 88 is bound between leaves 80 and 81. 10 cm. Good-fair condition. Stains and wear. Few tears affecting text (with gluing). Contemporary binding with vellum spine, damages.
