Amsterdam 1819. Printed by Yochanan Levi Rofe and his son Benjamin.
92 Pages.
Also includes Psalms printed in Amsterdam 1819, with a separate cover page. At the back Supplications from the year: 1823 is printed. Pages 129-144.
Computerized Jewish Book Otzar: Item no. 33696.
Magnificent condition with original colored leather binding, decorated with gold embossing.
The page-layout of this edition differs from the one registered in the Computerized Jewish Book Otzar, printed in the same year. Considering the heavy use that Prayer Books undergo throughout the generations, it is rare to find a Prayer Book in such complete and great condition such as this one.
