Siddur Safah Berurah, "Properly organized with Yiddish translation" by R. Wolf Heidenheim (HaRaveh). Rodelheim, 1835. Bound with Tehillim with Yiddish translation and prayers for women. Rodelheim, 1835.
Engraved frontispiece - illustration of angels and an altar, and the word "Lesivlonot" (engagement present for the bride). At the top of the frontispiece are paper appliques representing two red, white, and blue Dutch flags. The flags are inscribed with the words "At this time next year Sarah will have a son" [Hebrew year 5596 (1836) in gematria code]. Stamped on the binding are the title "Siddur Lesivlonot" and the name of the bride - Sar'ka bas R. Asher (the name is stamped upside-down on the back cover; evidently an error made when the siddur was rebound). On the front endpaper is a handwritten list of births.
