Siddur Tefila Mikol Ha-Shana, Vol. 1 with the Keter Yosef, commentaries and prayers based on the Kabala, by Rabbi Yosef of Peremishl. Berlin, (1699).
This Siddur was printed in two editions, conform to the Ashkenazi and Polish ritual, the main difference between the two editions is in the liturgy, not in the actual text of the prayers. The present copy conforms to the Ashkenazi rite.
This Siddur is especially rare: most of the copies were put away because of a great polemic which exploded following the Sabbateans-related allusions inserted in the Kabbalistic commentary of the Siddur. In his book “Torat Ha-Kenaot”, Rabbi Ya’akov Emdin cites this Siddur as one of the Shabtay affiliated books and writes: “And those are the books which have swallowed the venom of that snake, in several inconspicuous places, in the Siddur Tefila Keter Yosef, that’s the reason why the Rabbis of the previous generation have decided to recall it and put it in Geniza”.
Rabbi Yechezkel Katznelbogen Rabbi of Hamburg, Altona and Wandsbek writes in a letter to Rabbi Moshe Chagiz: “and this is why I have ordered all synagogues to bring me all prayers with the Keter Yosef commentary”.
However the Shabtay affiliated words of this commentary were not written by the author, who was a great Torah scholar, famous lecturer and Dayan, The editors who brought the Siddur to print are the ones who have added the Shabtay related allusions, refer to what Rabbi Ya’akon Emdin himself wrote in his book Edut Be-Ya’akov (Altona 1756, p. 50): “the elder Dayan of Amsterdam actually told me that the author of the Keter Yosef commentary in the Siddur Tefilah, only wrote the exoteric commentary and was unaware of the additions brought by the proofreaders and publishers of the book, they have added their own [comments] and will be liable for that”. (See enclosed material, essay by the Rashaz Leiman, Zichron Le-Rabbi Moshe Lifshitz, pp. 885-888). This copy is missing the title page and many of the first leaves.
