Extremely Rare: Minhagei Ashkenaz, Sefer Maharil with Siddur. Frankfurt am, Main 1688. Pocket Format
Sefer Maharil, “Morenu…Rabbi Yaakov ben Moshe HaLevi…who wrote and established the Minhagim of Ashkenaz and guided the path by which we are to walk…from the beginning of the year til its end, with the addition of chiddushim … with a few practices and minhagim in the Frankfurt community…and chiddushim by Rabbi Hertz Levi (Av Beit Din of Frankfurt).”
One of the most important foundational halachic books of Ashkenazi Jewry, often quoted in the poskim for generations. Printed in Frankfurt am Main by an unknown publisher in 1668. 135 [i.e. 235], [38] pp. The last unpaginated leaves contain a non-vowelized Siddur.
Complete copy. We found a single copy only in the National Library (in the Rare Books Collection).
Pocket format, stains and varied aging blemishes. Some moth in several leaves.
Good overall condition - especially for prayer books that are frequently used. Old binding. Missing spine.
