summary

Week-day, Sabbath and Festival prayers according to the rite of the Four Communities of the Comtat Venaissin: Avignon, Carpentras, Cavaillon and L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue. Contains “many interesting local trifles,” especially a selection of songs, known as “obros” entirely peculiar to the Jews of Provence, in which Hebrew and Judeo-Provencal (in Hebrew characters) alternate. The present copy contains the uncommon appendix of six leaves in the first volume with the Order of Service for the local Purim according to the rite of Cavaillon. See C. Roth, The Liturgies of Avignon and the Comtat Venaissin, in: Journal of Jewish Bibliography (July, 1939) pp. 99-105
