Manuscript, Taamei Halachot on Orach Chaim and Yoreh De'ah, by a Maghrebian Torah scholar, with glosses. Concludes with segulot, hashbaot, texts of amulets and cures; with kabbalistic diagrams. [Morocco, ca. 18th century].
Taamei Halachot is a composition preserved in Maghrebian manuscripts (in various versions). Most of it was never published. It presumably originates from the Torah scholars of Marrakesh, and comprises a compendium of the teachings of Rishonim and Acharonim, halachic rulings and local customs, and more. The present manuscript contains Taamei Halachot for the laws of festival in Orach Chaim (many illustrations in the laws of Sukkah), and for the laws of Yoreh De'ah, with selected laws from Even HaEzer.
Neat Western script, with dozens of marginal and interlinear glosses (including lengthy glosses) completing and expanding upon the composition. The writer has not been identified (the manuscript may have been written by several writers).
At the end of the manuscript, compendium of segulot, texts of amulets and hashbaot, with kabbalistic tables and diagrams, and book of cures.
Illustration of the Temple menorah. Death inscription dated 1801 and other inscription.
[159] leaves. 20.5 cm. Good condition. Stains and wear. Tears to several leaves, slightly affecting text. Original leather binding, damaged.
