Machzor, Aram Tzova (Aleppo) rite. Part 2. Venice, [1527]. Printed by Daniel Bomberg. Only edition. Rare edition printed in Venice for the Aleppo (Halab) Syrian Jewish community. This machzor preserves a very early version of the text which has been forgotten with time and has been exchanged for the version used by the Sephardim (following the Spanish expulsion, at the time Jews settled in the East). This version preserves ancient Eretz Yisraeli rites and contains many unique customs and piyyutim, including customs unknown from any other source. Incomplete copy containing 351 of 391 leaves (and a number of leaves enclosed – additional copies of leaves bound in the machzor).
