Hon Ashir, First Edition Amsterdam 1731 – Sheet Music which Inspired the Chabad 'Lechatchilah Ariber' Melody
Sefer Hon Ashir, commentaries and novellae on the Six Orders of Mishnah, by the kabbalist R. Immanuel Chai Ricchi. Amsterdam, 1731. First edition.

Two poems composed by Rabbi Immanuel Chai Ricchi were printed in this book, including the sheet music. According to Chabad tradition, this was the source for the melody known as "Lechatchila Ariber", composed by Rebbe Maharash of Lubavitch, and it allegedly originates from the Arizal.
Overall in good condition, light marginal worming to first 3 & last 10 pages not affecting text, small hole to page 2 not affecting text, closely shaved top margins, last 2 pages with tear, last page repaired affecting text & with small hole.
