Included in this compendium of prayers and instructions issued for Marranos are: the Hagadah for Passover; an index of blessings for the entire year including relevant laws and commentary according to Sephardic rite; a perpetual liturgical calendar; a recipe for Charoseth; instructions for constructing a Mikveh; prayers for the sick, last rites, and prayers for martyrs burned at the stake by the Inquisition. Of uncommon interest are the ceremonies celebrating the birth of a daughter, “Zeved HaBath” (Fadas de la Hija), the circumcision ceremony of proselytes and slaves and the blessing when buying a slave.
