Machzor for Yom Kippur - Venice, 1792 / With Printed Leaf "Tefilla L'VaYa'avor" by the Author of Or HaChaim HaKadosh - Unicum
Yom Kippur prayers, Sephardi rites, with prayers from the writings of the Ari and from the book Chemdat Yamim. Venice, [1792].
Fine copy with contemporary leather binding.
A printed leaf titled "Tefilla L'Va'Ya'avor" is attached to the front flyleaf (with a metal pin), containing a prayer by R. Chaim ibn Attar, author of Or HaChaim, "to say on Yom Kippur while the cantor is saying Va'Ya'avor" [prayer regarding the exile of the Shechina, printed in Livorno in 1797 in the machzor for Yom Kippur (see next item) and later in additional machzorim].
This leaf was printed on its own, apparently in Livorno, soon after the printing of this machzor. The leaf is not listed in the Bibliography of the Hebrew Book nor does it appear in the NLI catalog. As far as we know, this is the only existing copy.
[1], 146-206, 193-352, 2 leaves + [1] printed leaf. 18.5 cm. Good condition. Stains. Contemporary leather binding with gilt adornments, with damages. Wear and light tears to attached leaf.
