Summary:

This is a manuscript of Seliḥot in the rite of Carpentras, France, covering the Seliḥot recitations for the High Holidays. The title contains two acronyms, ḳ.ḳ.Ḳ. (קק"ק, ḳehilah ḳedoshah Ḳarpintrats), and y.H.b.a. (יהב"א, yagen H. baʻadam amen); it follows a layout style similar to other manuscripts done by ʻImanuʼel ben Gad de Milhaud over the course of his writing, and this manuscript is at the very end of his career. The manuscript contains separate elements for each day of Seliḥot, with the day of Rosh ha-Shanah missing from the cycle. The headings for the piyutim include Rehuṭah and Seliḥah, with some piyutim missing headings.

Notes:

Ms. codex.

Title from title page (f. 1r).

Collation: Paper, v + 163 + vi; 1¹² (-1) 2-13¹² 14⁸; modern foliation in pencil, lower left recto, [1-163]; modern pagination in ink, upper outer corners, [1-321] (f. 2r-162v); references in this record are to the foliation.

Layout: Written in 23-25 long lines; some piyutim are written in a shirah form called "ariaḥ ʻal gabe levenah," meaning (in masonry terms) stretcher over a course (see Talmud Bavli Megillah 16b, for example f. 82-84); another shirah form called "ariaḥ ʻal gabe ariaḥ", stretcher over a stretcher is used (for example f. 86r); other standard paragraph formats are used for other piyutim.

Script: Written in a French-Italian square script, all vocalized; headers written in Ashkenazic cursive in the hand of ʻImanuʼel ben Gad de Milhaud. This scribe was prolific in creation of manuscripts for prayers in the customs of French communities, and he was active in the late 17th and early 18th centuries.

Decoration: Many decorative ligatures with ornamental extensions above them in headings (such as f. 2v).

Binding: Brown sheepskin binding, almost completely intact, likely the original binding.

Origin: Written in Provence, likely in Carpentras, France, in 5480 (1719-1720) by ʻImanuʼel ben Gad de Milhaud and dated in the year 5480 (f. 1r).

Watermarks: "Trevoie" along the gutter (examples, f. 161, f. 149) with a bell below it (example f. 129).
