Detailed
Description		    First edition of this popular collection of prayers arranged by R. Rafael Hayyim ben Aaron ha-Kohen. It is, according to the title page, song and praise, supplication and pizmonim (liturgical prayers) for Shabbat and festivals. These prayers are from early geonim who were accustomed to recite them at every ashemerot of Shabbat. These pizmonim and desirable songs, new and old, are so that people do not say inappropriate romantic verse. The title page is dated, be-zemirot בזמירות (665 = 1905). The verso gives the author’s name in Latin letters as Rephael H. Cohen Parsi, Jerusalem, Palestine. Below is a warning against unauthorized reprinting for fifteen years. There is an introduction from the author, and a twelve page table of contents listing the prayers. There are four hundred sixty four prayers, followed by Shevah Berakhot. The prayers begin with bekashot for Shabbat and encompass festivals and numerous occasions. Although this is a new work it is to a large extent based on Mikrei Kodesh (Livorno, 1864) and other similar works. The text is set in a single column in square letters.
