Hanau Machzor, 1625. An important and ancient version of the western Ashkenazi prayers. Rare.
A machzor for the entire year, in a small format. According to the cover page, the machzor is intended for all Ashkenazi congregations, but actually reflects the minhag of western Ashkenaz. And to our knowledge, this is the first printed Frankfurt's minhag machzor. Includes the prayers for high holidays missing two pages from Yom Kippur prayer and Missing the Sukkot Passover and Shavuot prayers. And also missing megilat ruth shir hashirim and kohelet.
at the beginning of the machzor, there is unknown siddur for Shabbat, (without cover page)
printed in Hanau. “Begun on Sunday, Lag ba’Omer 5385 (1625)” and in another place: “Printing completed on Thursday, 20 Cheshvan, 5385 (1624). In the bibliography, this date is corrected to 5386 (1625). This was necessary for the order of the printing and the coordination of the day of the week with the date in the month.
Fine condition, 15 cm.
