By the middle of the 18th century, the town of Aix had become the last cultural center in which the traditions of the Comtat Venaissin communities were preserved. It was mostly through the efforts of the Cremiux and Milhaud families that this sacred patrimony was kept alive. The prayer-book was based on Elijah Cremieux's Seder he-Tamid of a century earlier, with a wide selection of Piyutim for all the communities of the Comtat Venaissin. The publication was more a labor of patriotism than piety, for within a generation it is doubtful whether there was any synagogue at which services according to that time-honored tradition were still regularly held (C. Roth, The Liturgy of Avignon and the Comtat Venaissin, Journal of Jewish Bibliography VII [1939], page 104, see also EJ, Volume II, columns 475-576. Of special interest are prayers for the local Carpentras Purim commemorating miraculous events that occurred in that community on the 9th of Nissan in the year 1681. See EJ Volume I, pages 139-144.
