Detailed
Description		    Only edition of this abridged work on Hebrew grammar and annotations on Psalms by R. Jehiah Mizrahi. It is dated with the chronogram “My doctrine shall drop as the rain” (Deuteronomy 32:2). The text follows the title page beginning with the value of grammar, noting that the wisdom of grammar is of great benefit in understanding the words of the sages and that there are esoteric meanings as is known from the Tikkunim. Furthermore, there is an obligation on everyone to read verses without their dikduk, as is written by R. Pallaggi in his Sefer ha-Hayyim on R. Schiff and also from what is written on this by R. Lonzano. R. Mizrahi enumerates a long list of works in his possession on the subject and employed by him. The text is a detailed and comprehensive introduction to the subject of dikduk.

R. Jehiah Mizrahi (1803-75) was one of the sages of the east. He was a Yemenite Jew who lived in Alexandria and provided a connection between the Jews of Yemen and the Jews of the west.
