Seder Kriyat Vatikin [!] for the nights of Shavuot and Hoshanah Raba, based on the order in the Shnei Luchot HaBrit with a few kavanot of the Ari, with the addition of a maamar from the Zohar belonging to Leil Hoshana Raba. Printed by Shlomo Propus in Amsterdam 1728.”
Later there is a separate title page, “Sefer HaAdarot HaKedoshot”—Adra Raba and Adra Zuta from the Zohar to be said when going to visit the tombs of Rachel and the Prophet Samuel in Jerusalem. The book was printed in Amsterdam especially for Jerusalem’s Jews by Rabbi Yosef HaKohen of Jerusalem “may Hashem return him to his home in peace” (the wording on the title page). Introduction “HaMeniach” is by Rabbi Moshe Chagiz, who tells of the tradition of Jerusalem’s Jews to say the HaAdarot when going to visit those tombs on defined dates, Rachel’s Tomb “during the days of mourning from the 17th of Tammuz til the 9th of Av when she cries over her children”, and Elul and the Aseret Yemei Tshuva; Samuel the Prophet “on the eve of his death, 28th of Iyar”.
Rare, unique sefer. 68; [3], 25 leaves.
Wooden binding wrapped in leather, seems to be original. Light wear to the first two leaves of the tikkun leil Shavuot. Partially detached binding for the Adarot, tape on the binding, light defects, library stamps, overall good condition.
