RE: Please help with title

[Sharon Hammer]

Rachel,

 

A search on the Hebrew title (without sefer) in OCLC yields 3 JNUL records
for Selihot in manuscript.  All of the records are extensively notated, and
record # 232874166 has a 500 explaining that these are the first words of a
Sephardic piyut in Aramaic, and very kindly supplies 3 sources with more
information about the piyut, including Davidson, Otsar, # 927, which I
assume refers to Otsar ha-shirah veha-piyut.   I’m sorry I don’t have these
sources immediately accessible but hopefully this information will help you
figure out how to romanize the title.

 

Guess we should give a cheer for the appearance of JNUL in OCLC :-)

 

Sharon

What does ספר מח"י ומסי mean and how should it be romanized? the subtitle
has: נוטריקון מניני חדאד יצ"ו ומסי לשון רפואה שירפאני השי"ת אכי"ר

 

Any idea how to romanize the מניני part of the name? the full name is רפאל
מניני חדאד

 

Thanks,

 

Rachel
