Manuscript, prayers and Piyyutim for Rosh Hashanah. [Cuneo, Italy, 19th Century]. At the beginning of the manuscript is the Piyyut Achot Lanu Ketana chanted on Rosh Hashanah eve, followed by the order of eating the simanim on Rosh Hashanah eve [with unique foods such as onion (batzal) – "We should merit basking in the shadow (betzel) of Your wings" and unique prayers to say after each taste]. (These leaves are heavily stained because they were in use while eating); "Order for study before dawn of the two days of Rosh Hashanah", with sections of the Zohar and Psalms with Kabbalistic kavanot; prayers for teki'at shofar; Tashlich; Kapparot. Copied into the words of the prayer on Leaf [16a] is the name "Your servant, Meir son of Moshe" (the writer, Meir Kavalion). Leaf [20] is a replacement from a later time.
