Buyer's premium:

3 volumes with Machzor Shnot Chayyim for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, “in large letters, following the minhag of the Sefardi communities with prayers from the Ari’s manuscripts and the book Hemdat Yamim with glosses by Rabbi Haim Moda’I and laws in the spoken language [a summary of halachot in Ladino]…”. Commentary “Moed L’Kol Chai” and an introduction by Rabbi Haim Palagi. First edition from the author’s lifetime. [2], 161; [162], 150; [151]-266 leaves. This copy has an additional page at the end of the first volume, numbered, with the piyyut ‘U’Netana Tokef’—which makes this copy 162 leaves, not like the other copies of this edition which have been seen. We haven’t found a copy like in various libraries. Old bindings, leather spines, some pages are detached as a group. Stains, overall good condition.
