Shalmei Tzibbur, laws of Tefilah and daily synagogue customs, Rabbi Israel Ya'akov Algazi. Salonika, 1790. Published by the author's son, Rabbi Yom Tov Alagazi. [The present copy does not include the addition of "Shalmei Chagiga"].
Numerous signatures and scholarly glosses, most are signed "Mashiach".
The back of the title-page carries a note in a handwriting similar to the one featured on the books printed by the author and his son Rabbi Yom Tov Algazi, which are still stored in their manuscript form in Jerusalem.
"This book belongs to me, Avraham Shlomo HaLevi son-in-law of the great Rabbi HaMelitz" [Rabbi Avraham Shlomo HaLevi, one of the leading sages of Jerusalem, passed away in 1827]. Purchase inscription from year 1831 [bought from] Rabbi Moshe Yom Tov signed "Ishe". Dedication of the book to "the [Beit] Midrash of Rabbi Raphael Yosef Shalom son of Abdallah Moshe Chaim" [apparently related to the "Ben Ish Chai"]. Signature of "Goel Acharon Moshe HaCohen Trab", one of the sages of Aleppo and ink-stamps from Rabbi "Raphael David Kasachi Beirut" [related to the Kasachi family of Aleppo].
Rabbi Moshe Yom Tov, of the leading sages of Jerusalem between the 1820s-1850s, traveled in 1830 to Turkey and Aleppo as a fundraiser for Hevron, where he sold the book to "Ishe". The glosses signed "Mashiach" apparently belong to Rabbi Moshe Yom Tov himself. The book was later sold to Rabbi Moshe HaCohen Trab, one of the sages of Aleppo, who added glosses of his own and signed them "MTH".
[3], 190 leaves, 18.5 cm. Good-fair condition, stains and moth damage. Some of the glosses are cut.
