Machzor for Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur, Part I, according to the rite of Poland, Bohemia, Moravia, Lithuania and Belarus (Nusach Ashkenaz), with a commentary in the Holy Tongue. Slavita: R. Moshe Shapira, [1821].
Bluish paper. Title page printed in red and black.
[1], 172 leaves. 21.5 cm. Fair-good condition. Stains and wear. Dampstains. Worming and minor damage. Tears and worming to first two leaves and final two leaves (mostly repaired, leaves professionally restored). Old, damaged binding, detached.
The Bibliography of the Hebrew Book records two machzorim printed in Slavita in 1821, but they do not correspond with this machzor. One machzor has the same pagination, but a different imprint, while the second machzor has the same imprint, but a different pagination. These copies contain an additional leaf following the title page, presumably with a deed from R. Yisrael Bak, selling his rights to R. Moshe Shapira (see Bibliography of the Hebrew Book, listing 172635. This copy does not contain that extra leaf. This may be a variant.
