Shnoder Book – record book for synagogue pledges. [Italy, ca. 19th century].
Italian square script. Thick, high-quality paper, with hundreds of holes on each leaf (most leaves contain some 744 holes), for marking the pledges made by the community members on Shabbat and festivals, when writing is prohibited.
A different name was presumably written at the top of each leaf, yet the leaves were trimmed, and only one leaf (p. 21a) features (most of) a name: "R. Yisrael [?] Chaim Formiggini".
Names of synagogue honors are handwritten at the beginning of each line (each leaf contains different honors, presumably according to the habits of the specific community member).
Inscriptions in Italian on the final page (with some Hebrew) – accounts for "Isaaco Modena" and "Samuel Formiggini".
[81] leaves. 34.5 cm. Good-fair condition. Stains and wear. Tears and repairs. Old binding, with new spine and endpapers.

Shnoder Book – record book for synagogue pledges. [Oldenzaal, Holland, ca. first half of 20th century].
The record book contains printed tables with numbers (sums of money). A half circle was cut out under each number, so that the gabbai could mark which sum was pledged on Shabbat or festivals, without transgressing the prohibition of writing. The various leaves record pledges made to the synagogue as well as to the community's charity societies. The names of the community members are handwritten in Latin characters (the names in this ledger correspond with families known to have been members of the small Jewish community in Oldenzaal, thus the ledger is presumed to have belonged to the Oldenzaal synagogue).
10 printed leaves, with a blank leaf between every two printed leaves. 33.5 cm. Good-fair condition. Stains and wear. Tears to one leaf. Original binding, rubbed, with new spine and endpapers.
