[Vinograd, Prague 645]. 1697 * BOUND WITH: (Machzor) [Festival and occasional prayers]. ff.104 (of 106?) lacking at least one leaf at beginning and end.

summary

Three rare Prague Hebrew imprints. Although only 2 leaves of the 1697 Psalms are present, it’s type-face is precisely the same as the Machzor bound with it. This suggests that the Machzor, rather than being the 1698 edition, could indeed be an unrecorded 1697 (-or earlier) issue

Stained, few marginal repairs with minimal loss. Modern morocco. Sm.4to
