Description		    Unpublished poetry by R. David b. Aaron ibn Hassin (c. 1730–c. 1790), liturgical poet, disciple and son-in-law of R. Mordecai Berdugo. He lived at Meknes (Morocco) and his numerous piyyutim were popular among Moroccan and other oriental Jews. Some of his compositions were published, with a foreword by R. Raphael Berdugo, under the title Tehillah le-David (Amsterdam, 1807; enlarged edition Casablanca, 1931). In addition to piyyutim, the collection includes wedding and friendship poems, elegies, and a poetic description of the precepts of ritual slaughter, Mekoman shel Zevahim.
