summary

The first extant work in the field of local religious custom. Incorporating practices for the whole year, referring to benedictions, prayers and rites according to the Aschkenazi ritual. Klausner was the main teacher of both Jacob Moellin (the Maharil) and Isaac Tyrnau and so laid the foundation for the spread of Nusach Aschkenaz and Minhag literature in general. A critical edition of Klausner’s Sepher Minhagim with notes, sources and an introduction was prepared by C.J. Ehrenreich in 1929
