summary
The selection of rather esoteric prayers seems to reflect the somewhat eccentric inclination of the scribe. Includes circumcision rite for converts and slaves, Kaporeth and Pidyon Haben Ceremonies, abbreviated form of Grace after Meals, Masoretic Accents, etc. Several prayers in the typical idiosyncratic style unique to the Jews of India
Light wear. Contemporary maroon boards. 8vo
