EXCEPTIONALLY FINE WIDE-MARGINED COPY OF THE SECOND HEBREW-SPANISH PRAYER-BOOK
Cavallero’s translation appeared only once previously in 1552, of which only one copy is exant (JTS). An incomplete copy was sold by Kestenbaum & Company, Sale 8, Lot 429.
Hebrew printing was not being practised in Amsterdam at this date, and Bragadini published this edition for the Dutch Sephardi community. The format is an extremely unusual one in early 17th-century Venetian printing. With the scarce note on vocalization (Declaracion de los Puntos).
An inferior, incomplete copy of this important liturgy was offered for sale in the Schocken auction. The last complete copy to appear at auction was almost twenty years ago, in the JTS Sale
