Shaar HaShamayim siddur – prayers for weekdays, Shabbat and festivals, Yotzerot, Passover Haggadah, Piyyutim and Selichot for fast days, Tehillim and Maamadot. With Shaar HaShamayim – a kabbalistic commentary on the prayers, by R. Yeshayah HaLevi Horowitz – the Shlah. Includes an anthology of laws and practices, by the editor and publisher R. Avraham Segal Horowitz of Posen, great-grandson of the author. Amsterdam, [1717]. First edition.
Complete copy containing all parts. Four title pages; on first title page, copper engraving with illustrations of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and the festivals. Divisional title pages for Tehillim and Maamadot.
The Shlah writes in his introduction to the siddur: "Blessed is G-d… Who guided me on the true path… and brought me to the holy city of Jerusalem in 1622… to the gate where prayers ascend… through the gate of heaven (Shaar HaShamayim)". In the author's will printed at the beginning of the siddur, he adds that he decided to author this work "so that it would be printed and spread throughout the Jewish diaspora, so that I would have merit and a portion in all Jewish prayers".
Most of the prayers in this siddur follow the Ashkenazi rite, apart from some prayers which were printed side by side in both Ashkenazi and Sephardi rite, as the author requested in his will (although the editor and publisher did not in fact follow all the author's textual instructions for the siddur).
Praying from this siddur has the special segulah of the prayer being accepted, as the Bach writes in his approbation to this siddur: "We have no doubt that when it is disseminated throughout the Jewish people, whoever prays from it will not have his prayer go unanswered". This segulah is repeated by Rebbe Avraham Yaakov of Sadigura in his approbation to the third edition of the siddur (Warsaw 1882). The kabbalist R. Naftali Katz, author of Semichat Chachamim, attributes this segulah to the author himself, the Shlah: "He was especially fond of this siddur, and he instructed his descendants to publish it in order to bring merit to the public by praying in this order with those kavanot. And there is a promise on his part that those who follow this order before Him Who hears prayer with all their strength and with those kavanot will not return emptyhanded…".
The Baal HaTanya reputedly followed the kavanot of the Shlah in this siddur for his prayer service during his youth (Beit Rebbe, Berditchev 1902, p. 2, chapter 1).

Amsterdam had a large Sephardic community in the 17th and 18th centuries. Many of its members were descendants of Marranos who came from Spain and Portugal about a century after the expulsion. The present prayer books were printed for the use of those descendants of Marranos, who were not fluent in Hebrew.
Set of machzorim for High Holidays. Part I: Seder Ashmurot, Selichot for Elul and ten days of repentance, "according to the rite of the Carpentras, L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue and Cavaillon community"; Part II, Rosh Hashanah service, and Part III, Yom Kippur service, "according to the rite of the Avignon community", edited by R. Avraham Montel. Amsterdam: Hertz Levi Rofe and his son-in-law Kosman, 1763-1766.
Two volumes (Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur parts bound together), in original leather bindings (non-uniform).
Gilt inscriptions on both sides of second volume (first name very faded): "Moyse Bellone de Carcassonne".
In some copies of Seder HaAshmurot, including the present copy, the title page reads "according to the rite of the Carpentras, L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue and Cavaillon community" instead of "according to the rite of the Avignon community"; apart from this, the two editions are entirely identical (on the differences between the selichot rites of Carpentras and Avignon, see: Zunz, Rites of Synagogue Liturgy, Breuer-Fraenkel Hebrew translation, Jerusalem, 2016, pp. 137-138, 291-294).
The Carpentras prayer and piyyut rites are unique to the southeast French community. Its text was copied in manuscript machzorim for community members until the local scribes were unable to meet the demand. At that point a young local Torah scholar named R. Avraham son of Shmuel de Monteux (Montel) began to print the unique Carpentras prayer rite.
On the background to the publication and the work of the publisher Avraham son of Shmuel de Monteux (here called Montel), see: Sh. Schwartzfuchs, Documents on the Printing of "Mahzor Karpentrats", Alei Sefer, VI-VII, 1979, pp. 145-147 (Hebrew).
Two volumes. Volume I (Selichot): 82 leaves. Volume II (Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur): 60, 65-68; 88 leaves. Lacking last leaf of Yom Kippur part. 23.5-24.5 cm. Overall good condition. Stains. Small tears to several leaves. Original leather bindings (non-uniform). Wear and damage to bindings (open tears to spine and corners of second volume).

Machzor set for High Holidays and Three Festivals, according to the Sephardic rite of Constantinople and other locations. Vienna: Anton Schmidt, 1836. Three volumes.
Fine set in original leather bindings, with gilt decorations. On front of bindings, gilt inscriptions of owner's name in Hebrew: "Nissim di Salomon Kamondo", and the year "5599" (1839). On back side of bindings, gilt inscriptions in Latin type: "Nissim di Salomon Kamondo", with secular date "1839".
This machzor set belonged to the banker Nissim Camondo (1830-1889), son of the wealthy Shlomo Refael (son of Avraham) Camondo of Constantinople, who acted on behalf of the Jews and represented them before the Ottoman authorities. When these machzorim were made, Nissim was about nine years old. He later moved with his family to Paris and was active there. M.D. Gaon (Yehudei HaMizrach BeEretz Yisrael, II, Jerusalem 1938, pp. 595-596) calls him "one of the noblest of Jews in the former Turkish capital; he was admired in the European royal courts who granted him many dignities. King Victor Emmanuel of Italy bestowed upon him the rank of count, and as a result of his extensive donations on behalf of orphans of the war, his portrait was displayed as a memorial in several official institutions. He participated in every good and beneficial project, was a shield for his fellow Jews, and was universally resplendent in his charitable deeds…" (see further on him in Grayevsky, Zikaron LaChovevim HaRishonim, XV).
The Camondo family, of Spanish-Portuguese descent, was famous for its great wealth and far-reaching activities for Jews in the Ottoman expanse. By the early 19th century, the Camondo family had staked out a portion of the banking and real-estate businesses in the Ottoman Empire. They enjoyed close ties with the Sultan's court and lent money to fund imperial projects, for which they were granted a special permit to purchase lands in the Empire. The Camondo family was considered one of the richest and most prominent Jewish families in the Ottoman Empire, renowned for its great wealth, banking, real-estate business and philanthropy. The family also helped found Jewish educational institutions, were involved in the Jewish settlement in Eretz Israel and established beautiful buildings (such as the Camondo palace, Kamondo Sarayı, located on the Golden Horn in Istanbul). In 1867, the family relocated to Paris, where the Nissim de Camondo Museum (named after a grandson of the owner of the present machzor set) operates to this day. The mausoleum of the family is located in the Hasköy cemetery, Istanbul.
The Nissim de Camondo Museum in Paris displays two machzorim, for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, from the same edition, bound identically and produced the same year, with the inscribed name of Nissim's father: "Shlomo Avraham Camondo".

Paris: published by the author, [1847]. First edition.
Volume comprised of two parts. The first part of the volume is composed of Part I of Zemirot Yisrael (printed lithographically; lacking leaves in several places), with musical notation for the Shabbat prayers, according to the order of synagogue prayer.

These leaves include tunes composed by the editor of the book, Samuel Naumbourg, and many tunes by other composers (F. Hellmann, Sulzer, Lovy, Halevy and others). Some of the tunes are composed for multiple vocalists or for a choir. The name of the composer is indicated at the beginning of each tune.
The words of the songs, written along with the tunes, appear both in the printed and handwritten sections of the volume, in Hebrew transliterated into French. The song titles are printed in Hebrew.
On p. 177, tune for a wedding, for multiple vocalists.
At the beginning of the volume is printed a lengthy introduction in French by the editor, regarding the history of Jewish music.
On the last leaf appears a (partial) handwritten index to the tunes appearing in both parts.
Samuel Naumbourg (1817-1880) was a French-Jewish composer, cantor and musicologist, a native of Dennenlohe (Bavaria). Born to a long line of cantors, Naumbourg was given a musical education from a young age. He studied in Munich, where he joined a synagogal choir. He later served as a cantor in Besançon, and directed a choir in the Strasbourg synagogue. In 1845 he was invited to serve as cantor of Synagogue Nazareth in Paris. He later studied Jewish liturgy in depth, publishing several studies of Jewish music and anthologies of Jewish tunes, chief among them being the present work (which was printed in several editions over the years).

Netivot HaShalom, the Five Books of the Torah with Tikun Sofrim, German translation and commentary by Moses Mendelssohn, Solomon Dubno, Naphtali Hirz Wessely, Herz Homberg and Aaron Friedenthal. Berlin: George Friedrich Starcke, 1783. Hebrew and German (in Hebrew characters). Five volumes.

Five-volume set, in original leather bindings, with gilt decorations on spine, and gilt initials of owner's name on front bindings: "W. S. S.".
The work was composed by a group of scholars, headed by Mendelssohn, over ten years, between 1773 and 1783, and was fiercely opposed by the rabbinic leadership, who went as far as attempting to prevent its printing. To finance the enterprise, estimated at 3,500 thalers, Mendelssohn and his partners assembled a group of subscribers from all over Europe who jointly funded the publishing of the 750 copies comprising the first edition. The printing itself took three years, from 1780 to 1783, during which time the work was published in installments until it was completed.
The present copy is from the first edition. Each of the books of the Torah is bound separately, with a title page at the beginning of Bereshit (title page at beginning of Shemot lacking; title pages for other books were not printed). At beginning of Bereshit are bound: Or LaNetivah, a general introduction to the Five Books of the Torah, by Moses Mendelssohn; rabbinic approbations; Mehalel Rea (introduction and poem by Naphtali Hirz Wessely), a two-leaf introduction by Solomon Dubno (not completed in printing), and two additional title pages for Bereshit.
