Order of prayers for each month and for each Sabbath according to the Sephardi rite… Reprinted with many additions of special prayers from the author of Hemdat Yamim and others, according to the custom in Constantinople and Izmir etc., and daily laws in Ladino… Supplications and songs by the Rabbi… David Pardo from Spalatro [Split]… Printed on the commission of… Mordecai ben… Shlomo Puah of Spalatro. Venice: Bragadin, [1756]. Rare siddur in which the laws are printed in Ladino. Copy previously in the possession of Mordecai Manuel Noah from Philadelphia and his family. Appearing on the empty leaves at the beginning of the volume is the full signature of Mordecai Manuel Noah – "Manuel M Noah, 1850" (the signature appears at the end of an interesting dedication, see below). An initialed version of his signature (M M Noah) appears twice on the following leaves. Mordecai Manuel Noah (1785-1851) – journalist, playwright and editor, diplomat, philanthropist, lawyer, judge and Jewish-American sheriff, one of the most important Jewish figures active in the United States in the early 19th century and one of the most influential Jewish figures of his time. Born in Philadelphia to a father of German descent and a mother of Spanish-Portuguese descent; his father took part in the American War of Independence, and it is said that George Washington attended his parents' wedding. Noah gained renown mostly for his attempt to establish a safe haven for Jews – "Ararat" – on Grand Island in New York, near Niagara Falls (Noah purchased one third of the island and was granted the option of purchasing the rest, but his program never reached fruition). In 1807 (at the age of 22), following his grandfather's death, Noah began to study law in Charleston while also developing parallel careers as a journalist and politician: he joined the Democratic-Republican Party, and in 1813 was appointed consul in Tunis, where he worked to liberate American citizens taken hostage by the Algerian ruler. Upon his return to New York he served, among other things, as a sheriff, a judge and as surveyor of the port of New York; published articles in the newspaper managed by his uncle, the National Advocate, and later founded and edited a series of newspapers, including the New York Enquirer, the Union, the Evening Star, the Commercial Advertiser, the Messenger and the Times. Noah died of a stroke in New York in 1851. At the beginning of the volume is an interesting handwritten dedication, written in Philadelphia on 11 June 1818, attesting that the book was presented as a gift by Moses Lopez Jr. (son of Moses Lopez) to a person by the name of Phillips, as a souvenir and sign of appreciation: "Presented to Mr. A. J. [I.?] Phillips as a testimonial of the regard by dec[ease]d Father Moses Lopez entertain'd for him, by his Sincere Friend, M Lopez [Jr?]". Phillips was the surname of Mordecai Manuel Noah's mother, Zippora, and of course of her father – Mordecai Manuel's grandfather – Jonas Phillips, who was very influential in Noah's childhood and youth and even helped in his upbringing (after Noah's father left the family when Noah was seven years old, and after his mother passed away). Appearing on the margins of some of the book's leaves are the ownership stamps: "Moses Lopez jun." – son of Moses Lopez, who was also a member of the Portuguese community "She'erit Israel". For more information on Noah and his family, see: Jewish Encyclopedia, 1906 edition, volume 9, pp. 323-324, and see enclosed material. Several handwritten leaves in Sephardi script were added at the end of the siddur: additions of prayers and piyyutim not printed in the siddur (at the beginning and end of the volume), a note with the prayer "Tikanta Shabbat" for the mussaf service (between leaves 132-133, in the Shabbat Mussaf), and a leaf showing a sketch of a fine "LaMenazeach" menorah (the text is written in stylized square letters inside a brown frame of lines; between leaves 196-197, in the Scroll
