summary

The most important source for ritual customs (minhagim), both within and without the synagogue according to Aschkenazi rite. The work paints a most faithful picture of the religious and social life of the German Jews in the 14th- and 15th-centuries. The final 35 leaves contain a highly scarce Siddur printed in rabbinic type and lacking from most copies.

ff. (236), (35). Ex-library, tiny wormhole on some leaves. Modern calf. 12mo
