Sefer Shira Chadasha, poetry, Rabbi Raphael Tabbush-Antebi, [Aleppo, 1888]. Handwritten glosses and additions. Bound together with additional book in Oriental handwriting, large anthology of poetry [Aleppo, c. 1890].
Signatures and ownership notations of Rabbi "Raphael Tabbush" and more. Leaf 2 of the manuscripts contains full signature "Raphael Yitzchak Antebi Tabbush" - The author, the Kabbalist Rabbi Raphael Antebi (1854-1919) author of the book "Shira Chadasha" was a man of great holiness and the majority of his poetry was established on the wisdom of Kabbalah. His tombstone contains an epitaph "G-d fearing man, complete and total scholar, pleasant singer of Israel" - For additional information about him see attached material [Rabbi Raphael was blind and these signatures are apparently from an early period before he became blind].
Additional ownership signatures in Oriental handwriting: "Nissim Ya'akov ---". "Yosef Khafif".
Content of printed book and manuscript: Poetry composed especially according to the known Maqִm melodies [Maqִm - system of melodic modes used in traditional Arabic music]. On the title page of the book and its introduction the author writes at length regarding the damage to the soul caused by the Arabic flirtatious and lustful melodies, and therefore composed a holy poem appropriate to the known melodies. Some of the poems have the initials of Raphael after the author. [Many of these songs are known until today and are presented in prayer books and supplication books].
The manuscript also contains songs with the initials of Raphael and additional songs from his family members and from scholars of Aleppo (Halab). Among the song titles of the manuscripts: "composed by Rabbi Raphael", "Raphael Tabbush", "composed by Rabbi Mordechai Tabbush", "Rabbi Eliyahu Hamoi, "composed by Rabbi Ya'akov Sukri", "Ovadia Tabbush", "Sasson son of Rabbi Moshe" [author of Shemen Sasson] and more.

The pagination in the printed book is greater than that which is listed in the Bibliography Institute CDs, apparently this is a variant edition which contains double leaves which were printed twice with changes.

Manuscript, sermons about the virtues of Eretz Israel and about Shabbat Kallah, Tripoli, Libya, 1865. Autographic writing with erases and appendices.
At the beginning of the first homiletic: "Homiletic of the virtues of Eretz Israel - which I, the Mapah have spoke about in the villagesג€¦".
At the beginning of the second homiletic: "Jest for homiletic of the Shabbat Kallah and of Eretz Israel that I have spoken about here in Tripoli, 1865" - In this homiletic he also praises at length the local scholars: Rabbi Shalom Tito, Rabbi Avraham, Rabbi Yosef etc.
The Rabbi HaMapah - Rabbi Moshe Pardo (1794-1888) one of the outstanding scholars of Jerusalem, served as dayan in the Beit Din of the Rishon L'Zion Rabbi Avraham Ashkenazi together with the Rabbi author of "Kapei Aharon". In 1867, he was appointed Head of the Jerusalem Beit Din. In 1870, he went as an emissary to Africa and on his return via Egypt, he was appointed as rabbi of Alexandria where he served with great honor for 18 years. From this manuscript it appears that yet in 1865, he left as an emissary to Libya, in Tripoli and villages in the region. Some of his books: "Tzedek U'Mishpat", "Shemo Moshe" etc, many of his writings are still in manuscript form.
Two leaves, 8 columns, approx. 27 cm. Bluish paper, fair condition, tears to paper folds, (almost no text missing).
