Manuscript, prayers for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, with prayers for livelihood. Asti, 17th Elul 1791.
Neat Italian script, partially vocalized (semi-cursive and square script).
The manuscript opens with a title page stating: "Avraham Shimshon Artom son of the late R. Yonah Menachem. Here in Asti, 17th Elul 1791".
The manuscript opens with a prayer for livelihood, to be recited on the nights of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. This is followed by other prayers. Additional prayer for livelihood on the final leaf.
The writer was presumably an ancestor of the Italian Artom family, renowned for preserving the Apam rite (rite of Asti, Fossano and Moncalvo), which originates from the French rite, mostly lost after the French expulsion, yet preserved for several hundred years in the communities of Asti, Fossano and Moncalvo. The present manuscript does not however contain any of the unique Apam rite.
