Manuscript, Seder Shir HaYichud, for the eve of Yom Kippur. [Italy, 19th century].
Square Italian writing, partially vowelized. Apparently, the manuscript was not completed (several empty leaves at the end) and it contains the Shir HaYichud for Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.
Ashkenazi communities have the custom to recite the Shir HaYichud (divided into the seven days of the week) on the eve of Yom Kippur. In this manuscript, this custom is combined with another custom – the study of Tractate Yoma on the eve of Yom Kippur. Written at the end of Sunday's Shir: "And one recites Tractate Yoma Chapter 1 followed by Yehi Ratzon etc.", and at the end of the Shir for Monday: "And one recites Tractate Yoma Chapter 2 followed by Yehi Ratzon etc.". This combination of customs and the version of the Yehi Ratzon mentioned in the manuscript, are unknown from any other source.
