Ahavat HaKadmonim - Siddur Following the Rite of the Jews of Fez - Jerusalem, 1889
Ahavat HaKadmonim - prayers for the year-round, following the rite of the "toshavim" (residents) of Fez (Morocco). Jerusalem, 1889. First edition.
Prayers for weekdays, Shabbat and festivals, following the rite of the original Jewish residents of Fez (the "toshavim"), prior to the influx of Spanish exiles.
In his foreword, the proofreader chronicles the phenomenon of the "toshavim" community in Fez: The Spanish exiles, after resettling in Morocco, continued praying following their original prayer rite, which was quickly adopted by most of the Jewish communities in Morocco. The synagogue of the toshavim in Fez was the only one to conserve the original, ancient prayer rite of Moroccan Jewry. In this edition, this prayer rite was printed for the first time, based on a single manuscript carefully preserved by the cantor of the Fez synagogue.
A ruling (from 1715) was printed on pp. 79b-83b, pertaining to the ownership of the synagogue and the division of its income.
Two title pages, the first one in blue and red ink. Illustrations of holy sites on verso of the second title page and on the final leaf.
Ownership inscriptions (in pencil) on the second title page.
[9], 84 leaves. 18.5 cm. Good condition. Stains. Worming to final two leaves and back cover, not affecting text. Original leather binding. Damage to binding.
Sh. HaLevy, no. 636 (recorded based on the copy of the Ben-Zvi Institute); Stefansky Classics, no. 408.
