<<Only one other copy recorded>> of these Hanua prayers, found in the Bodleian Library (see Steinschneider no. 2130).
According to the poetic title page, the publisher previously issued a pocket Shulchan Aruch (Hanau, 1627) for travelers to study from. He now wishes to perform another public service for the benefit of travelers, providing them with an easily portable pocket prayer-book. Indeed the first prayer that appears after the morning Berachoth is Tephilath HaDerech (the wayfarers prayer). It was apparently published without Nekudoth in order to save space.
