Manuscript - Explanations of Words of the Bible in Judeo-Arabic, Piyyutim, Segulot and More - Morocco, 18th/19th Century
Manuscript, explanations of words from the Bible in Judeo-Arabic, piyyutim, segulot and more. [Morocco, 18th/19th century?]. Most of the manuscript is a composition on the Five Books of the Torah, Neviim and Ketuvim - explanations of the words in the order of the books (Bereshit-Devarim, Yehoshua, Shoftim, Shmuel, Yeshaya, Yirmiya, Yechezkel, Trei Asar, Ruth, Eicha, Mishlei, Iyov and Daniel). The explanation section is followed by (some in different script): piyyutim for Shavuot and other occasions; passages from the Midrash on the passing of Moshe; Sefer Segulot URefuot (approx. 6 pages); Ahuv VaChetzi tale; and several other inscriptions on the blank leaves. At the beginning of the manuscript, a signature: "I, the young one who writes this… Yitzchak son of Yaakov Ben David VeYosef". Another signature of the writer appears at the end of the book of Iyov. [88] leaves (and dozens more blank leaves). 17 cm. Good-fair condition. Stains and wear. Tears to several leaves. One leaf detached (cut out of the manuscript, with slight damage to text). Original leather binding, partly damaged.
