Manuscript, Shacharit prayer of Yom Kippur, "According to the Sephardic tradition of the Catalan Synagogue". Rome, [1812]. Written on high-quality paper. Illustrated title page. Square Italian writing, vowelized. With laws and instructions in non-vowelized writing. Version of prayer, Piyyutim and selichot, Sephardi tradition in Rome. Includes Kriyat HaTorah and the Haftara. Several marginalia [some with instructions of kavanot]. In "Elokeinu Shebashamayim" (Leaf [95/a]) is written: "Elokeinu Shabashamayim, place in the heart of the Caesar and in the hearts of all his advisors and officers and leaders and bishops, compassion to treat us well". Later, the words "the Caesar" and "his bishops" were put in brackets, and "the Pope" is written on the margin instead. Afterward, "the Pope”was also crossed out, and replaced with "the King". These revisions express the events of 19th century Rome: In 1812 [the year in which this machzor was written], Napoleon still ruled Italy. After the fall of Napoleon, at the Congress of Vienna in 1815, Rome was reclaimed by the Pope's government and in 1870 it became the capital of the Kingdom of Italy under the reign of King Victor Emmanuel II.
