Manuscript, Tiklal siddur, prayers for festivals, High Holidays and the four fasts, compiled by R. Yichye Tzalach, following the rite of Sanaa and Yemen. [Yemen, after 1805, ca. early 19th century].
Thick volume; neat Yemenite script, with full vocalization of all the prayers and piyyutim.
The siddur opens with the book Zevach Pesach on the laws of Passover, by R. Shlomo Tzalach (brother of the Maharitz), and the letter of the Maharitz on the laws of Pesach (the Maharitz is mentioned here as deceased, the manuscript was thus inevitably written after 1805). The siddur includes selichot by R. Tzalach, grandfather of the Maharitz, and a lamentation in Judeo-Arabic on Hannah and her seven sons (entitled: "Arabic lamentation on Hannah and her seven sons – named Miriam daughter of Tanchum").
