The Hebrew inscriptions read: Leib, son of Mordechai, from the Holy Congregation of Pekelbaum, Adar, 5481 (1721); Tila, daughter of the late Mordechai Katz, from Obenhausen. This book was probably a wedding present given to the bride. The women’s prayers included at the end are included in a study of Techinot by Chava Weissler.
