Wikipedia description:

Azharot (Hebrew: אזהרות, "exhortations") are didactic liturgical poems on, or versifications of, the 613 commandments in rabbinical enumeration. The first known example are Ata hinchlata and Azharat Reishit, recited to this day in some Ashkenazic and Italian communities, and dating back to early Geonic times. Other versions appear in the 10th century Siddur of Saadia Gaon, as well as by two Spanish authors of the Middle Ages: Isaac ben Reuben Albargeloni and Solomon ibn Gabirol and the French author Elijah ben Menahem HaZaken.
