Roman-rite machzor, with the Kimcha DeAvishona commentary. Part I – prayers for weekdays, Shabbat and festivals, Passover Haggadah, Tractate Avot with the commentaries of the Rambam and "the leading physician Rabbenu Ovadia of Sforno". Bologna: [Menachem son of Abraham of Modena, Yechiel son of Solomon of Ravenna and Dan Aryeh son of Solomon Chaim of Monselice], [1540].
One of the most prominent machzorim printed in Italy. First edition of Kimcha DeAvishona, comprehensive commentary to prayers and piyyutim, by R. Yochanan son of R. Yosef Treves (the commentary was published anonymously).
The machzor contains many glosses in Italian script by an unidentified Torah scholar, from the time of the printing. Several glosses from other writers. Almost all the glosses are trimmed and some are faded, with damage to text. The glosses mention books published in that period (such as Meor Einayim by R. Azariah dei Rossi, Derech Chaim and Avodat HaMikdash by R. Menachem de Lonzano, commentary to Azharot by R. Yosef HaLoez, and others). The writer mentions various customs and textual variations, adding his own thoughts and those of contemporary Torah scholars (for instance: "They have already said that there must be a closing line… and in my opinion… in the Sephardi rite"; "…I was told that the exceptional Torah scholar [Pro]vencal…"; "So… R. Pinchas"; "The correct text in my opinion is…", and more).
