Colorful, Ornamented Manuscript – Piyyutim and Songs – Kurdistan, 19th Century
Manuscript, piyyutim and songs. [Kurdistan, ca. 19th century].
Tall, narrow format. Most pages of text are set in a colorful border (watercolor), comprised of dozens of different vegetal and geometric designs. Colorful illustrations of flowers, large birds, floral bouquets or stylized medallions at the end of some piyyutim; some piyyutim with ornamented headings.
Includes: piyyutim by various poets, mostly from Sephardic lands; poems and passages in Kurdish and Persian; piyyutim for Shabbat and festivals; notes, blessings, tales; poems by emissaries from Eretz Israel, including a piyyut in honor of the Senna (Sanandaj) community (in Persian Kurdistan), and more (see Hebrew description for detailed list of piyyutim).
The songs were written for Sasson son of R. Shlomo, and the latter's signatures appear in several places (including a calligraphic signature). Stamps of Rachamim son of Sasson.
Some piyyutim have a heading with the name of the author or its function, such as: "By R. Eliyah for Shabbat", "By R. Shmuel for Shabbat Shirah", "By R. Yisrael, 7th day of Passover", and more.
