Manuscript booklet, prayers for the deceased, with an inscription handwritten and signed by Sir Moses Montefiore. Trieste (Italy), 1863.
Vocalized square script. Tzidduk HaDin and Hakafot prayers for the deceased, with Mishnayot Tractate Zevachim (chapter V), recited in the memory of the deceased.
Signature on the first page - "Moshe Montefiore", with an inscription in his handwriting: "Trieste, Wednesday, 10th Iyar - She returned to the heavens, 29 April ‘63".
The meaning of this inscription is not known to us. It appears that Montefiore wrote this about a woman who passed away (though presumably not in reference to his wife, who died half a year earlier).
[4] leaves (8 pages). 17 cm. Good condition. Detached leaves.
