Mahzor Worms
Festival prayerbook according to the Ashkenazi rite, for the use of hazanim (cantors) in the synagogue, containing mainly cycles of piyyutim (liturgical hymns). 2 vols. of different origin, written on parchment, in beautiful Ashkenazi calligraphy, with illumination and decoration in ink and color, including arcaded pages to open the main divisions of the book. Vol. I: copied in 1273. 224 fols., 390x310mm. The vocalization follows the Palestinian-Tiberian and an ancient pre-Ashkenazi tradition; the basic prayers, copied fragmentarily with piyyutim by Palestinian poets preserve versions of the ancient Palestinian rite.Vol. II: copied ca. 1280. 450x310mm. The Mahzor was in use in the community of Worms until the synagogues destruction on Kristallnacht, November 1938. It was rescued by the citys archivist, who hid it in the cathedral. In 1957, following legal proceedings in Germany, the manuscript was transferred to the Jewish National and University Library in Jerusalem.
