Set of Sephardic rite festival prayer books (Machzorim) for Rosh HaShanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, Peach and Shavuot.

The prayer books are bound in exquisite blue velvet bindings, with silver-plated edges and ornaments, and a personal monogram and name plate to every volume, made for Avraham Naphtali Kovo.
While we could not trace Avraham Naphtali himself, the Kovo family is well known for its long linage of Rabbis and Jewish communities leaders, stretching more than 400 years back. The family originated in either Como, Italy or Villar del Como, Spain, then settled in Thessaloniki, Greece, in early 16th century, and spread to the surrounding countries from there. It is known that there was one dayan in the 19th century Covo family named Avraham Covo.
