Orden Los de cinco ayunos – order of prayers for the five fast days. Amsterdam: Yshak Hu de Cordoua, 1724. Spanish.
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.
