summary

The Italian prayer rite is among the few that retained some significant vestiges of the pre-Crusader Palestinian rite. It is also characterised by a deep interest in liturgical poetry and midrashic compilations. In this rite, “the exegetical and liturgical interests of the two major centers are...seen to...come together nicely.” S.C. Reif, Judaism and Hebrew Prayer (1993), pp. 164-5

Vol. I: ff. (1), 2-224 (i.e. 283). * Vol. II: ff. (2), 3-322. With slip-cases (lacking top half of one slip-case). 8vo
