Description
The following description was prepared by William Gross:
This volume is a compilation of prayers and laws regarding Pesach and Shavuot, including an illustration of the Passover plate, showing the Kabbalistic equivalent words to the regular items displayed.
The printer, R. Yisrael Kushta (1819-1897) was born in Livorno, Italy. He was an author, rabbi and commentator. In 1864, at the age of 45 (three years before this book was published), R. Kushta was appointed chief Rabbi of Livorno, a position he held until his death.
