Manuscript, siddur Kavanot HaRashash, for Pesach and Lel HaSeder and for Sefirat HaOmer. Expanded detailed nusach of kavanot, containing all combinations of Names. Very attractive calligraphic writing, Rashi script and square writing. [Jerusalem, c. 1890s-1900].
On Leaf 120/b is a colophon by the Kabbalist scribe: "Written by …Yitzchak Ferrera". Owner's inscription in Ashkenazi handwriting: "Zvi Aryeh of Mezhyrich Gold-man".
the Kabbalist Rabbi Yitzchak Moshe Ferrera (c. 1840-1917) son of renowned kabbalist Rabbi Aharon Refael Chaim Moshe Ferrera, (died in 1887, author of Toldot Aharon V'Moshe and Efer Moshe), ascended with his father to Jerusalem from Salonika in 1848. Was a Jerusalem kabbalist and belonged to the Beit El community. He delivered a sermon every evening in a yeshiva for ba'alei batim in the Old City. He was a scribe for the Kabbalist Bet El Yeshiva, wrote and copied Kabbalistic books of the Rashash as well as his father's books and earned his living by writing amulets. Wrote several mussar books in Ladino, published his father's book Me'il HaKodesh U'Bigdei Yesha (Jerusalem, 1888), with his own additions and deep comments on Kabbalistic matters.
Rabbi Zvi Aryeh Goldman of Mezhyrich (died 1916), was known from his childhood for his insight of hidden matters. Upon his immigration at a young age from Mezhyrich to Eretz Israel, he immediately entered the Beit El Yeshiva and was among the leading Kabbalistic scholars. He was esteemed by all and was called "the white angel" and "the lofty tsaddik". He wrote Cheshbon Pirtei HaMitzvot (Jerusalem, 1904), Derech Chaim, etc.
