summary

A RARE EDITION. Compendium including Grace after Meals, Sabbath hymns, prayers before retiring, Birth, Marriage and Death services, concluding with an Hagadah for Passover. These Frankfurt “Minhagim-style” illustrations are notably different from the Amsterdam mould. Primitively wrought, they carry a rather striking angularity in their starkness

ff. 48. Lightly browned and stained, thumbed in places, marginal taped repair to title. Modern blind-tooled auburn morocco. 4to
