Prayer book, as customary in Poland, Sephardic version, with Ra'aven [Rabbi Eliezer ben Nathan] commentary. 2 sections. Ostrów, [1827?]. Printed based upon manuscript from library of Ga’on Rabbi Ephraim Zalman Margaliot, who writes in his approbation: “I hereby declare that I am the one responsible for integrating the commentary of the Ra'aven in this prayer book and preparing it for print”. Rabbi Ephraim Zalman Margaliot included many additions to this prayer book; “Beit Tefila – inspiration for heartfelt prayer” and more.
Date on title page of section 1 states 1810 whereas on title page of section 2 date listed is 1817. However, table of new moons on leaves 154-155 corresponds to years 1828-1831, therefore it is reasonable to presume that prayer book was printed in 1827, despite date listed on title pages.
Section 1, for weekdays and Shabbat: 9, 11-48, 50-87, 92-95, 100-161, 164-165, 165-190 leaves; section 2, Rosh Chodesh and holidays: [1], 3-14, 13-70, [2], 23-30, [2], 81-88, [1], 89-97, 96-97, 129-154 leaves. 18 cm. Blue and white paper, good-fair condition, moth damage and wear, professionally restored. Elegant half-leather binding.
