Sha'ar Bat Rabbim, Machzor with the Hadrat Kodesh commentary, according to the tradition of the Ashkenazi community. Venice, [1711-1715]. Elaborate copy with wide margins. Two of the four volumes.
The machzor was printed through the efforts of the Italian communities (specified on the title page and the colophon), who promised in advance to purchase printed copies. The machzor was printed and sold in separate pamphlets: "Every time you bring them one leaf of the machzor…they will give you four 'pshutim' in return..." (Leaf 3/1). These are two volumes which contain the first part of Part 1 [composed of prayers for weekdays, Shabbat and Rosh Chodesh, Selichot and Yotzrot, Passover prayers] and the second part of Part 2 [composed of prayers and Piyutim for Yom Kippur, Succot, Hoshana Rabba and Simchat Torah]. On Leaf 362/1: "A nice new entreaty for times of plague, G-d forbid".
At the beginning of the first volume is a title page illustrated with an elaborate copper etching. At the beginning of the second volume is an empty decorative framed title page on which is written [by hand in square writing with vowels]: "Prayer for the Shatz [Sheliach Tzibbur] on the Days of Awe". Owners' signatures and stamps.
In the second volume are hundreds of corrections and glosses in Italian writing. Many glosses are long and full of content (commentaries on Piyutim, Gematriot and Remazim). The writer notes in several places his community's custom. In two places his rabbi is mentioned: "Rabbi Gefen said…" [Rabbi Gavriel Fontrimoli Av Bet Din of Turin].
At the end of the second volume are two handwritten pages (square writing with vowels): “In the city of Chieri…they say this Selicha…”.
Volume 1 [Part 1]: 228 leaves. Volume 2 [Part 2]: 194-372, 377-384 leaves. 38 cm. Wide margins, high-quality and whole leaves. Minor wear on several pages. Stains and moisture traces. Ancient leather bindings, damaged.
