An 18th-century manuscript of Tikune Shabat [prayers and devotions for the Sabbath], written be-otiyot Amsterdam, i.e. after the letters/font of Amsterdam (these details appear in the ornamented title page of the manuscript). The title page does not provide the place of production nor the name of the scribe-artist who was responsible for writing and decorating the book. The Hebrew date seems to be written incorrectly. The top of one of the pages is marked 5517 and contains provenance details and a date.  Accordingly, the book belonged to Abraham ben [son of] Meir Emden, and the date given is Thursday, 13 of the Hebrew month of Shevat, 517 [i.e. 5517], which corresponds to 3 February 1757. Although hard to prove, it is possible that Abraham was the son of Meir Emden whose father was the prominent German rabbi and Talmudist Jacob Emden (1697-1776). Meir Emden (1717-1795) had been a rabbi and Av Bet-Din [senior jurist] at Constantine in the Ukraine. The tile page indicates that the manuscript contains also Sabbath hymns, the prayer for the New Moon, and Perek Shirah, an ancient hymn of praise in which every created thing – from the animate to the celestial – thanks God for its existence. Featured on the decorated title page of the manuscript are Moses holding the Tablets of the Law,  and Aaron his brother dressed in High Priest vestments. This is a frequent motif in 18th-century Hebrew manuscripts and has its roots in the ornamented pages of earlier imprints from Amsterdam and other European printing centres. The animal, celestial and vegetal illustrations enclosed within mauve and blue ink medallions are part of the Perek Shirah hymn. Several illustrations show families around a table celebrating the Sabbath.  A particularly interesting illustration is placed at the beginning of the prayer for the new moon [Birkat ha-levanah] and shows a group of men dressed in black garments gazing upwards at a crescent moon. The manuscript also contains decorated word and single letter panels and floral baskets. Script: vocalised (with added vowels) Hebrew square script; part of the text is written in Rashi unvocalised script. This is a semi-cursive script based on a 15th century Sephardic (originating in the Iberian peninsula) handwriting. The decoration programme appears to be typical of Hebrew manuscripts produced in the 18th century, however the style of the illustrations is rather naïve and unrefined. Illuminated manuscript on parchment, 170pp (both sides of 85 leaves), all edges gilt, contemporary panelled morocco with raised bands, 12cm, housed in a worn leather slipcase. Contents very well-preserved, occasional smudges & handling marks, the endleaves include names and other inscriptions that were evidently hidden when pasted to the facing pages but are now visible (see photographs), marbled endpapers on pastedowns only (not free endpapers), binding is worn with loss to morocco at headcaps but remains intact & strong NB. We would like to thank Ilana Tahan, Lead Curator of Hebrew and Christian Orient Collections at The British Library for the kind assistance and detailed information provided in this catalogue entry
