Manuscript, Yemenite rite Tiklal siddur; prayers for weekdays, Shabbat and festivals, with Chiddushin and commentaries by R. Yitzchak (Mahari) Wanneh and other commentators. At the end of the volume – various midrashim and compositions, segulah books and dream interpretations. [Yemen, ca. 1877].
A complete, large format siddur in neat Yemenite script (style and text based on early Tiklal siddurim, predominantly with supralinear vocalization).

Shlomo ibn Gabirol with Perush Azharot; Megillat Esther and Megillat Bnei Chashmona'i with commentaries (entitled Midrash Esther); High holiday prayers and Hoshanot with Chiddushin; Keter Malchut piyyutim, Ashmorot (selichot for the month of Elul); El Melech and Maranot piyyutim (selichot for Yom Kippur night, opening with the words El Melech and Maran), without commentary; Yom Kippur service by R. Avraham ibn Ezra; Birkat HaMazon with Chiddushin, order of blessings; calendar of leap years and Tekufot beginning 1876.
Several compositions were copied further in the volume, most of which do not appear in other Tiklal siddurim: midrashim in Judeo-Arabic on the Ten Commandments and the passing of Aharon HaKohen and Moshe Rabbenu; texts of ketubot, divorce and other official documents; Shaar HaTekufot – segulot for predicting the future; Letter of Eldad HaDani; Tale of Yeshu (Jesus); Tale of Ben Sira; the Taamim Nechmadim composition; Pitron Chalomot (dream interpretations).
The scribe's colophon, which was written alongside the concluding lines of the book Taamim Nechmadim, states that the book was written for Ya'ish Salam al-Shaer.
