❧ Description
Kaf Naki ("pure palm", after Job 22:30 / Ps. 24:4) — collection in five parts that Khalifa ben Malka himself prepared for printing and completed on 26 Tammuz 5514 = 1754. The work centers on glosses of the prayer ritual according to the Amsterdam maḥzor and was dedicated to R. Isaac Shalom Yeshurun of Amsterdam. Correction (June 2026): the exact title is Kaf Naki (not "Kaf Naḥat") and the work belongs to liturgical-halakhic glosses, not to the musar genre.
Provenance: 1 Autograph prepared by Khalifa ben Malka, completed 26 Tammuz 5514 = 1754 2 David Günzburg collection, then Russian State Library, Moscow
