Sidur, Ashkenazi rite

Contents

A sidur according to the Ashkenazi rite.

Language(s): Hebrew

ff. 1r-161r
Title: סדור מנהג אשכנז לכל השנה
Title: Sidur minhag Ashkenaz le-khol ha-shanah

Second part of the colophon on f. 159v has been erased. Other erasures in the volume (e.g. ff. 47r, 117r, 160r), probably due to censorial activity (see Ruth Langer, 'The Censorship of Aleinu', p. 157).

Catchword on f. 8v does not match f.9r: lacuna after f. 8?

Colophon: חזק ונתחזק הסופר לא יוזק היום ולא לעולם - אני אורי ב"ר מנחם הלוי יטון המטנה ויניש... f. 159v
