Manuscript on parchment, Hosha'anot and piyyutim for the three Festivals, according to Ashkenazi tradition. [c. 1500].
Miniature format, Italian-Ashkenazi square writing.
At the beginning of the manuscript are piyyutim of Hosha'anot for Succot. Begins in the middle of the piyyut Adama Me'erer followed by four other (complete) piyyutim, (leaves [1]-[3/a]). these are followed by the complete order of prayers for Hosha'ana Raba ([3/b]-[10a]), Seder Hakafot for Simchat Torah ([10b]-[12a]). Written at the end: "All the Hosha'anot were completed".
Piyyutim for the three Festivals follow: Ma'ariv for the first eve of Pesach and for the second eve of Pesach and for the Seventh Day of Pesach (leaves [12b]-[23b]), Ma'ariv for Shavuot (for the first and second day, [23b]-[29b]); Ma'ariv Piyyutim for the first and second night of Succot ([29b]-[32b]), for Shmini Atzeret eve ([32b]-[35a]), and Ma'ariv for Simchat Torah (incomplete).
On Leaf [12a] above the word Yitzchak is a mark. Possibly, this was the name of the scribe who wrote this manuscript, or perhaps it alludes to the year of writing (1448).
[35] leaves. Approximately 9 cm. Good condition. Stains, damp stains. Detached leaves.
Enclosed: expert’s opinion on the manuscript.
