Description		    In praise of the Moroccan sage and zaddik R. David Abihatzeira by R. Yihya Adahan. The title page states that it recounts a small part only of the praise of the pious, holy, kabbalist, the godly R. David Abihatzeira, descended from from a holy line of holy rabbis. His name is “is known in the gates” (Proverbs 31:23). His deeds in both nistar and niglah were for the public benefit. All that he did was in purity and holiness “high and lifted up” (Isaiah 6:1). At the beginning of the book is a dedicatory page to be completed by the purchaser, a list of those who helped finance publication, and a detailed introduction from R. Yihya Adahan on R. Abihatzeira. The text begins with a discourse on tefillin, followed by piyyutim, bakashot, a eulogy, and kinnot. The author, R. Yihya Adahan, was also a member of a distinguished Moroccan family, namely the Adahan, (Dahan, Bendahan) family, which also produced many leading rabbis and kabbalists.
