Item Overview
Description:
Elul and High Holidays Machzor Set – Carpentras and L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue Rite – Amsterdam, 1763-1766 – With Handwritten Sermons – Early Bindings
Set of machzorim for high holidays. Part I: Seder Ashmurot, Selichot for Elul and ten days of repentance, "according to the rite of the Carpentras, L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue and Cavaillon community"; Part II, Rosh Hashanah service, and Part III, Yom Kippur service, "according to the rite of the Avignon community", edited by R. Avraham Montel. Amsterdam: Hertz Levi Rofe and his son-in-law Kosman, 1763-1766. Three volumes.
In some copies of Seder HaAshmurot, including the present copy, the title page reads "according to the rite of the Carpentras, L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue and Cavaillon community" instead of "according to the rite of the Avignon community"; apart from this, the two editions are entirely identical (on the differences between the selichot rites of Carpentras and Avignon, see: Zunz, Rites of Synagogue Liturgy, Breuer-Fraenkel Hebrew translation, Jerusalem, 2016, pp. 137-138, 291-294).
The Carpentras prayer and piyyut rites are unique to the southeastern French community. Its text was copied in manuscript machzorim for community members until the local scribes were unable to meet the demand. At that point a young local Torah scholar named R. Avraham son of Shmuel de Monteux (Montel) began to print the unique Carpentras prayer rite.
On the background to the publication and the work of the publisher Avraham son of Shmuel de Monteux (here called Montel), see: Sh. Schwartzfuchs, Documents on the Printing of "Mahzor Karpentrats", Alei Sefer, VI-VII, 1979, pp. 145-147 (Hebrew).
Lengthy handwritten inscriptions on front endpapers and inside the boards of first volume. The front endpapers and boards contain another sermon for Yom Kippur eve. The writer mentions his own manuscript books Ir David and Sefer HaMefoar.
Signature on title page of second volume for Rosh Hashanah: "Shlomo Dalpuget".
Three volumes. Volume I (Selichot): 82 leaves. Volume II (Rosh Hashanah): 60, 65-68 leaves. Volume III (Yom Kippur): 88 leaves. Lacking last leaf. 24-24.5 cm. Varying condition of volumes; first volume in good-fair condition, second and third volumes in fair to fair-good condition. Stains, including large dampstains to second volume, and especially dark stains to first and last leaves of third volume. Wear. Marginal tears and open tears to several leaves, repaired with paper in several places. Volumes I-II in early leather bindings (non-uniform), volume III in binding with leather spine. Wear and defects to bindings (open tears to spine of second volume).
C. Roth, The Liturgy of Avignon and the Comtat Venaissin, in: Journal of Jewish Bibliography (1939), pp. 102-103.
