Tikkun Shovavim - Belgrade, 1845 – First Edition with Ladino Explanations
A rare and important edition of the Tikkun Shovavim prayer book, printed in Belgrade in 1845. This edition is significant as it includes explanations and translations in Ladino, a Judeo-Spanish language spoken by Sephardic Jews.
Title: Tikkun Shovavim – As practiced by the Sephardic community, with added explanations in Ladino.
Year of Printing: 1845 (Belgrade)
Pages: Incomplete – some pages are missing. The book contains added sections not present in the original 1790 edition printed in Apan (Turkey).
Condition: Overall good, with some signs of age and wear.
Key Features:
Customs and Prayers: This edition follows the Sephardic customs for the Shovavim penitential period, adding prayers and customs specifically for this period of Jewish liturgical observance.
Ladino Translation: This edition includes translations of certain prayers into Ladino, with explanatory notes to help Sephardic Jews who spoke this language understand the text.
Added Content: This edition features additional prayers, including Mincha for Sephardic customs and other additions outlined on the title page.
Signature: The book bears an ancient Spanish signature (Ladino inscription) on page 26, which adds historical value, showing that this edition was used by a Jewish individual or community, potentially during the 19th century.
Condition Details:
Missing Pages: The copy has missing pages, especially in the Yad section (likely affecting a portion of the text).
General Condition: The book is in good condition overall, but there is edge wear and small marks of age such as mild discoloration and creases at the corners of the pages.
Cover: The binding is a new fabric cover with a gold-embossed design, preserving the integrity of the book while adding a touch of new elegance.
Historical Context:
This first edition of the Tikkun Shovavim with Ladino annotations is crucial for understanding the religious practices of the Sephardic communities during the 19th century. The Shovavim period is a time of penitence and self-reflection in the Jewish liturgical year, particularly focused on the first six weeks of the Hebrew year. For Sephardic Jews, maintaining their traditions, including understanding texts in their native Ladino, was of significant importance.
This edition serves as both a religious guide and a linguistic artifact, shedding light on the specific customs and practices of Sephardic Jews in the 1800s, and is invaluable for collectors, scholars, and those studying Sephardic Jewish heritage.
Perfect for: Collectors of rare Jewish books, researchers of Sephardic liturgical practices, and those interested in Ladino language and Jewish texts from the 19th century.
