Manuscript – "Alufim Sha'ananim" – Piyyut for a Brit Milah – [the 17th Century]

A special Piyyut for a Brit Milah, written by Rabbi Shlomo Bar Shalem Yadi'ah ben Alrabeh. 
Upper vowelization. 
The Piyyut is still said today by several communities of Yemen immigrants. Its source is known to us today only from the "Tiklal" (Yemenite prayer book) of Rabbi Yisrael the son of Rabbi Yosef Mashta. Manuscript, Yemen, [the 17th century]. The script of the manuscript before us is similar to that of Rabbi Yisrael.
The Piyyut is made of alphabetically ordered verses (the author's name, Rabbi Shomo, appears in an acrostic of the second word of each verse). The Piyyut describes the creation of the fetus and the Brit Milah. 
The author of the aforementioned Tichlal, the poet Rabbi Yisrael the son of Rabbi Yosef Mashta was one of the rabbis of his family member Rabbi Shalom Shabazi, who was on eof the greatest rabbis an dpoets of Yemen. 
Rabbi Yisrael was known for his important poems and for the 'Tiklal Mashta Shabazi" that was written by him in 1642 and was published only in recent years in a facsimile edition of the original manuscript. 
The first line of the Piyyut is missing. The manuscript begins with the words "Ve'Chol Ta'amei Todah".
