Printed leaf, "Prayer by… the Rabbi of our community Rabbi Yechezkel Landau to recite daily… for the success of Her Majesty Queen Maria Theresa and for the success of her husband the mighty Emperor… Here in Prague, they have begun to recite it in all the synagogues, Sunday 10th of Elul 1756". Prague, [1756/7].
Large broadside, printed on one side in two columns. The right column is the prayer composed by the Nodah B'Yehuda for the success of the Empress and the left column is a long "Cherem Gadol" (ban) [in Yiddish incorporated with Hebrew] announced by the Nodah B'Yehuda on the 29th of Kislev 1757, "before the Torah scrolls and with shofar blowing and candles extinguished in the presence of all community members". This ban was announced in the Altneu Synagogue in the course of the Seven Years' War (1756-1763), obligating all the community members to be faithful to Empress Maria Theresa and to pray for her welfare and for peace to the country, with heavy curses upon all who act against the monarchy.
