Tefilla Mikol HaShana - Keter Yosef - Berlin, 1699 - Incomplete Copy, with Ancient Glosses
Siddur Tefilla Mikol HaShana, Vol. 1 with Keter Yosef, Kabbalistic commentaries and prayers, by Rabbi Yosef of Przemysl. Berlin, 1699. This Siddur was printed in two editions, conforming to Ashkenazi and Polish traditions. The piyyutim comprise the primary difference between the two editions, not the actual text of the prayers. This copy conforms to the Polish tradition.
Several glosses in Ashkenazi handwriting from the time of printing [early 18th century].
Copy missing title page and many leaves at the beginning: 53-64, 61-96, 101-160, 118 leaves (originally: [1], 5-64, 61-96, 101-160, 118 leaves). 21.5 cm. Fair condition. Worn, detached leaves, stains and slight worming. Without binding.
This Siddur is especially rare because most copies were sent to geniza after a heated debate due to several commentaries in the spirit of Sabbatai Zevi found in the Kabbalistic commentary of the Siddur. In his book Torat HaKenaot (Altona 1752), Rabbi Ya'akov Emden includes this Siddur among books suspected of Sabbatean allusions and writes: "And these are the books which integrate the venom of that snake in several inconspicuous places, in the Siddur Tefilla Keter Yosef, therefore the Rabbis of the previous generation have decreed to send it to geniza". Rabbi Ezekiel Katzenellenbogen, Av Beit Din of Hamburg, Altona and Wandsbek writes in a letter to Rabbi Moshe Chagiz (in an Oxford manuscript): "…and therefore, I have instructed to publicize in all synagogues to bring me all siddurim with the Keter Yosef commentary". However, the Sabbatean views in this commentary were not written by the author, who was a preacher, a prominent Torah scholar and Dayan and wrote several books including Ketonet Pasim (Lublin, 1691) and Tzofnat Pa'aneach Chadash (Frankfurt an der Oder, 1694). The offensive Sabbatean allusions were added by editors before printing, see Edut B'Ya'akov by Rabbi Ya'akov Emden (Altona 1756, p. 50): "The elder Dayan of Amsterdam R' Moshe Frankfurter, told me that the author of the Keter Yosef commentary on the Siddur only wrote the revealed commentary and since he was blind, was unaware of the additions by the proofreaders and printers, they have added their own commentaries and they will be held accountable".
