Elaborate Vellum Manuscript - Birkat HaLevanah and Tefillat HaDerech - Germany, 18th/19th Century
Elaborate vellum manuscript, Birkat HaLevanah and Tefillat HaDerech. [Germany, late 18th century or early 19th century].
Square vowelized Ashkenazi script in charming scribal writing, on high-quality processed vellum. Birkat HaLevanah appears on the first leaves and Tefillat HaDerech on leaves [7]-[8]. At the beginning of both prayers are long passages with instructions and guidelines in a smaller unvowelized writing. Additional instructions prelude several sections of the manuscript which contain kabbalistic kavanot and references, such as "The kabbalists wrote that also Psalm 67 should be recited and one should shake his hems to chase away the 'klipot' and this is a big awesome secret" (page [5b]), "have kavanah of the initials… the moon is a sign…" (page [2b]).
Manuscript in impressive condition, with original leather binding embossed with gilt floral designs.
[8] leaves. 13 cm. Very good condition. Stains. Minor damages to binding. Original leather and cardboard case, with damages.
