Volume comprising a year–round siddur, Five Books of the Torah and Haftarot, and a calendar for Rosh Chodesh and festivals, in Spanish. The books were presumably printed together (appear so in other copies as well), in 1732–1733. Divisional title pages:
• Orden de Las Oraciones Cotidianas [order of prayers for weekdays, Shabbat and festivals]. Amsterdam: David de Elisa Pereyra, 1733. Spanish.
• Calendario De Ros–Hodes Fiestas y Ayunos [calendar for Rosh Chodesh, festivals and fast days, for 5493–5509]. Amsterdam, [1732]. Spanish.
• Los cinco libros de la ley divina [Five Books of the Torah and Haftarot translated to Spanish]. Amsterdam, 1733. Spanish. With divisional title page for Haftarot (dated 5492).
17th and 18th century Amsterdam was home to a large Sephardi community. Most of its members were descendants of Marranos who emigrated from Spain and Portugal a century after the expulsion. The present book was printed for the members of this community who had lost familiarity with the Hebrew language.
