Only extant copy. Recorded in the Bibliography of the Hebrew Book based on the present copy (listing 000306672 of the Bibliography of the Hebrew Book erroneously records a machzor as a second part of the present siddur; this is in fact a conflation with another two-part edition of a machzor with the same printer and year; the present siddur was printed independently).
