Beautiful manuscript, pizmonim and prayers for a brit milah. Italy, 19th century. Rare collector’s item.
Includes rare pizmonim, prayers, and blessings for a brit milah ceremony. Block lettering, nice handwriting (very accurately done), on thick, high-quality paper.

In the margins of the manuscript are another five pages of handwriting with personal prayers for the mohel. Bound in handsome leather, with gold-colored inscriptions, given in an original, matching leather box. | Page cutting in blue. [1], 30 pages. 5 [7] pages (more pages are left blank). Generally very good condition.
