Derech Chaim. Various kabbalistic prayers and rectifications. Leghorn, [1801]. Second edition with additional prayers by the Chid"a. Rare.

Annulment of vows, tashlich, the long viduy (confession) and kabbalistic rectifications. The book was printed in Leghorn, where the Chid"a lived, during his lifetime. Some of the prayers mention his name. The back of the title page features 'גזרת נחש' by the Chid"a, an allegorical allusion to his name. The publisher, Rabbi Shmuel son of Moshe HaKohen, was a close associate of the Chid"a's.

Refer to: M. Benayahu, Rabbi Chaim Yosef David Azoulay (Jerusalem, 1959), p. 253-254.

34 leaves, 17 cm. Fine condition. Thick paper. Partially detached cardboard binding, aging stains.
