Suriname Minhagim, Luaḥ, and Seder ha-parshiyot, 1860-1869. Volume 2.
Description:
A ḥazan in Paramaribo; the Levie family members were cantors in Paramaribo.; These are two manuscripts from a set of three miniature volumes of the liturgy records of the ḥazan; hastily written lines and cross-throughs indicate his personal use. The manuscripts follow a left-hinge style of layout following the Dutch writing; the texts follow the minhag, or individual custom of Suriname. Items of interest from the first volume: phonetic transliterations include mention of an "Aronqudes", meaning "Aron ha-ḳodesh" (the holy ark, f. i verso, 18v); mention is made of "De Elkana van Kipoor", a reference to the hafṭarah portion for Rosh ha-Shanah 1 (from Samuel 1:1-2:10, about Elkanah father of Samuel the prophet; it is unclear why the scribe assigns it to Yom Kippur, f. 6r); a list of simple phrases (such as "Torah; ʻodenu" (likely a reference to Numbers 11:33); "Neviʼim; Barukh H. le-ʻolam; Ketuvim; lekhu neraninah; Mishnah; kol yiśraʼel"; f. 16r), referring to portions Levie assigned or read in the synagogue. Items from the second volume are material for Jewish holidays, with the first word reading "poerim" (i.e. Purim; f. iv) and the following folio headed as "Judendagen", or Jewish days (f. 1r); "Sabbath gazon" (for Shabat ḥazon, for the Shabat preceding Tishʻah be-Av, f. 2r); and "Rosj hasjana" (f. 14v). There is a mention of an Abraham E. Gomperts (f. 14r). The last leaf of the second volume is detached. The latest date in the first volume is 1862 (f. 18v) and the second 1869 (f. 13v). Both are written in informal paragraphs with the Dutch in cursive script and the Hebrew in square script. Bound in soft wrappings, original. Written in Paramaribo, the capital of the Dutch colony of Suriname.; The third volume in the set is a printed prayer book cataloged separately under the title Minḥat ʻerev li-vene Sefarad... (Amsterdam: D. de Miranda & Co., 1865).; Formerly owned by Dutch filmmaker and author Willy Lindwer (stamp, Willy Lindwer Judaica Collectie, inside housing).

Jews -- Netherlands -- History -- Sources; Alchemy -- Early works to 1800; Chemistry -- Early works to 1800; Medicine -- Formulae, receipts, prescriptions -- Early works to 1800
Description:
Multilingual miscellany of culinary, medical, and household chemistry recipes; esoteric and alchemical notes; trade information and accounts; and family records, compiled over more than a century, possibly by members of one Sefardic family based in or near Amsterdam or Naarden. The oldest material at the beginning of the volume (f. 1r-23v) includes a medical treatise on the doctrine of signatures and a small group of prescriptions, both in Portuguese, and a biographical introduction to the reader in Spanish signed J.C.A., which refers to the arrival of Jewish physician Benedicto de Castro in Amsterdam in 1671 (f. 12r). An excerpt from the Amsterdamsche Courant dated 1797 relatively early in the volume (f. 40r) suggests that most of the volume was written in the 19th century before 1835. Esoteric content includes astrological references (f. 7v-9v); alchemical symbols (f. 10v-11r, 62v, 140v); a spell in Hebrew for killing an enemy (f. 34r); possible incantations (f. 50r); a magic square (f. 53v); reference to the angel Uriel (f. 98r); and page citations to items of alchemical interest in the diary of the French diplomat and physicist Balthasar de Monconys, published after his death in 1665 (f. 137r-138r), Twenty printed leaves with the running title Calendrier intéressant are pasted to leaves, covering recipes and notes (some printed leaves now loose and two missing from the sequence, f. 79v-90r). These are sequential leaves (p. 3-46) from a copy of Calendrier intéressant pour l'année ..., ou Almanach physico-économique, published by the Société Typographique of Bouillon from 1770 into the early 1780s. The pages here include references to the Calendriers of 1771 and 1772, so were likely printed in the years immediately following, but the writing on the pages beneath them is from the early decades of the 19th century (for example, a note on the death of Napoleon Bonaparte in 1821, f. 80r). A small amount of shipping, currency, and price information is scattered on a few leaves (Paris, Bordeaux, and Marseilles, f. 60r; Castilian weights, Livorno, Curaçao, New York, 131v-135r; Paris, Bordeaux, Geneva, Venice, Charlestown, New York, 148v-152v). The family records at the end of the volume (f. 171r-174r) document births and deaths, many with the family name Henriquez (or Henriques), from 1759 to 1835, not recorded in chronological order.
