Siddur from the Rothschild Family Library, London, 19th Century
Description:
A Siddur titled "Sha'ar HaTefillah VeSeder HaAvodah" , following the Ashkenazi and Polish customs, published in London in 1836
The Siddur contains the original Hebrew text alongside an English translation, presented side by side, providing an accessible resource for English-speaking Jews in 19th-century Britain.
Binding and Condition:
The book is bound in original black leather with gilt tooling on the cover, and the spine is adorned with gold embossing, enhancing its luxurious appearance.
The text block edges are gilded, adding an extra level of refinement to the volume.
The book is in excellent condition, showing only mild signs of age, with minimal wear to the binding and slight aging to the pages.
Provenance:
This Siddur comes from the Rothschild Family Library (the English branch). The Rothschild family, renowned for their wealth and influence, were also known for their commitment to preserving Jewish heritage and religious traditions, and this prayer book is a reflection of that legacy.
The Rothschilds played an important role in the Jewish community, and this book is an example of their dedication to fostering Jewish scholarship and religious life.
Historical and Cultural Significance:
The Rothschild family was central to Jewish life in 19th-century Britain, and this Siddur, with its dual-language format, represents the intersection of traditional Jewish worship and the integration of Jews into British society.
The use of English translations alongside Hebrew prayer texts reflects the growing influence of English-speaking Jews and their desire to maintain religious observance while navigating the complexities of life in Britain.
This book is not only a religious artifact but also a historical document that provides insight into the spiritual and cultural life of the Jewish community during a pivotal time in history.
Condition:
Binding: Very good, with only slight wear from age and handling, showing the luxurious craftsmanship typical of the Rothschild collection.
Pages: Clean and well-preserved, with clear Hebrew and English text.
Text Block: Gold-edged pages in excellent condition, with minimal foxing or discoloration.
