Manuscript, "Tiklal - Contains year-round prayers". Vowelized. With instructions and laws (in Hebrew and Judeo-Arabic) from the Etz Chaim siddur by the Mahari Tzalach (without the commentary). [Yemen, 1876].
In the introduction to the Shabbat morning prayer (Leaf 25/b): "…I have seen the Tiklal written by R' Saliman Almanzali who was Rabbi and Dayan of Sana'a…Also the Tiklal written by R' Y. Alachbari…and who is more knowledgeable of Sana'a customs, more than the aforementioned R' Saliman…". Written in the piyyut "Lachen Anshei Levav" for the eve of Tisha B'Av (Leaf 78/a): "We count…from the destruction of the second Beit HaMikdash…1807 years of our anguish. And from the destruction of the first Beit HaMikdash and the dispersion of our exile…2297 years…". [Accordingly, this Tiklal was written in 1876, or later than that but copied from a siddur which was written in 1876].
