Hemdat Yamim

Hemdat Yamim
"The Beloved of Days": the first book to set forth an elaborate Passover-like seder and other traditions; a homiletical collection first published in eighteenth-century Smyrna, a work whose author's identity (other than the fact that he was a devotee of the messianic pretender Shabbetai Zvi) has continued to elude bibliographers.
