The manuscript continues with Seder Tashlich, and a series of supplications authored by the Kabbalist Rabbi Yosef Irgas. After that, the Hymns for Yom Kippur night ... The writer appears to be one of the acestors of the Italian Hartom family, and known for preserving the customs of the communities of Asti, Posano, and Moncalvo (APA"M), based on the traditions of the Jews of France, expelled in 1394"-- Provided by vendor.
