summary

First Appearance of Hebrew Type in Amsterdam. One of very few copies extant. Following the incalculably rare Ferrara Machzor of 1550, this Netherlandic edition was produced for use by the Marranos in Amsterdam and ultimate distribution throughout the Spanish-Portuguese Diaspora. It is indeed the first Machzor to be printed in Amsterdam. See C. Roth, The Role of Spanish in the Marrano Diaspora in: Hispanic Studies in Honour of I. González Llubera (1959) pp.1-10

pp.263. Title supplied in facsimile, lightly stained. Contemporary calf. 12mo
