<<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 performs another service for travelers so that they have an easily portable pocket prayer-book as well. Indeed the first prayer printed after the morning Berachoth is Tephilath HaDerech (the wayfarers prayer). It was apparently published without nekudoth in order to save space.
