Tephilah Nechonah [prayers for the entire year]. According to the custom of the German and Polish Jews. Arranged in accordance with the daily prayer book of Shabbthai Sofer ben Isaac of Przemysl

Shabbthai Sofer was commissioned by the Rabbis of the Council of Three Lands to publish an accurate edition of the Prayer-book, which he did with much reference to the now lost Siddur of Solomon Luria. It was partially published in 1617 in Prague and recently a complete edition was issued in three volumes in Jerusalem from the original manuscript which was in the library of Chief Rabbi Solomon Hirschel and subsequently in the Library of the London Beth Din (since sold). Sir David Salomons(1797-1873), was a leading figure in the 19th century struggle for Jewish emancipation in the United Kingdom. He was the first Jewish Sheriff of the City of London and Lord Mayor of London, and one of the first two Jews to serve in the British House of Commons; he was also a noted horological expert. Sir David’s daughter, Vera Francis Salomons, active in furthering the cause of Eretz Israel established the L.A. Mayer Institute for Islamic Art in Jerusalem (and also plays a role in Allen Kurzweils' book, The Grand Complication (2001).
