summary

AN UNRECORDED PRAYER-BOOK. NOT LOCATED IN THE LIBRARIES OF JNUL, JTSA, BODLEIAN, BRITISH MUSEUM. Not recorded in any of the bibliographic sources consulted. Steinschneider (Cat. Bodl. 2125) and Yudlov (Ginzei Yisrael 241) record a similar Sephardic prayer-book with the same title printed by Calleoni in 1624 and containing almost the same pagination as the present edition. Yudlov states that the 1624 edition follows a yet earlier edition first published in 1584 (see St. Cat. Bodl. 2095). See also Ginzei Yisrael 345 for a differing liturgical work published by Calleoni in 1639, entitled Seder Tephiloth Le-Moadim

ff.232. Title laid down, opening and closing few leaves trace wormed, small repair to f.56 affecting a few words, trimmed and lightly stained. Modern crushed morocco. 8vo.
