Miniature, Manuscript Parody. Ukraine, 1889
Two manuscript works: "Hashkamat HaPoker" and "Sipur MeiHa'ish Ploni Almoni HaYadua" by Efraim ben Moshe Zvi. Ukraine, end of the 19th century.
"Hashkamat HaPoker" is a sarcastic work…discusses the customs and opinions of the heretics… a parody of the morning routine (hashkamat boker) listed in the Shulchan Aruch. Includes humorous laws of dress and magnifying the outer appearance, with the author's commentary titled "Magen Avrim" (takeoff of Magen Avraham). [1], 5 leaves. 10x8.5 cm. Illustrated title page. Handwritten in Rashi letters.
Additional work that he copied, apparently his own creation - Efraim ben Moshe Zvi of Bohuslav, Ukraine. Includes "Sipur MeiHa'ish Ploni" and the riddle of the aleph-beit.
The "Sipur MeiHa'ish" is "Toldot Yeshu" [The Life of Jesus] translated into Hebrew from a Yiddish manuscript by the copier (Leaves [1], 1-19). Illustrated title page.
"Chida al HaAleph-Beit", how each letter relates its virtue and greatness in riddle (leaves 19-25).
Hebrew colophons. [See Hebrew catalogue description for colophon texts with dates etc.] Efraim ben Moshe Zvi copied other manuscripts in 1872-1874, in Bohuslav.
Old, cloth binding. Altogether 32 leaves. Aging stains. Fine condition. Rare and interesting.
