Detailed
Description		    Attractive compilation of liturgical works for educating the young by R. Moses ben Aaron Haliva. The title page states that Peh la-Adam פה לאדם stands for piyyutim פיוטים, haftarot הפטרות, haggadah הגדה, Perukim פרקים (Pirkei avot), Iyyov פרקים, and Daniel דניאל. It is a work desirable and pleasant, done to teach the young of Israel with ease, and also for adults to learn Pirkei Avot from Pesah to Azeret (Shavu’ot) with the other named works, according to the Sephardic custom (ma’arev), to be said every Shabbat. The text was assembled by R. Haliva and published by two close relatives who are like brothers, R. Aaron ben Moses Haliva and R. Abba Joseph Nissim ben Abraham Haliva. The title page is dated “[I have made the earth], and created man upon it בראתי (613 = 1853)” (Isaiah 45:12). There is an introduction from the author’s son and another (approbation) from R. Abraham ben Joseph Haliva, the author’s uncle in London. The text follows in the order described above, beginning with piyyutim. Peh la-Adam is in two parts,each with its own foliation, which is in error in both parts. The second part begins with Proverbs and includes Job and Daniel.
