Manuscript, unidentified kabbalistic work. [Ottoman region?, ca. 18th century].

Sephardic-Oriental script. Most of the manuscript comprises an unidentified work with Kavanot for verses and mitzvot. The first nine leaves contain prayers to recite before burning chametz and during the Seder night, deriving from Chemdat Yamim (with changes). We were unable to determine the nature of the work, which would require an in-depth study.

[33] leaves. Lacking at end. 17 cm. Fair-good condition. Stains, including dampstains. Large open tear to one leaf, affecting text. Several leaves detached. Without binding.
