Seder Arba Ta’aniot. Amsterdam, 1658. Rare.
Most rare, early Prayer Book for Fast Days throughout the year. Includes Selichot for Asarah BeTevet, Ta’anit Esther, Shiv’ah Asar BeTammuz and Lamentations for Tish’a Be’av. Printed for the Sephardic community who resided in Amsterdam in that era.
On the title page appears a beautiful architectural arch. In its center is the Printer’s Mark of the famed Amsterdam printer, Immanuel Benveniste, depicting a lion facing a tower topped with a star.
Amsterdam, 1658.
115 leaves. 16 cm. Very good condition. Margins are slightly stained and worn. Beautiful copy with half leather and material binding.
It is most rare to find a liturgical composition printed in Amsterdam in this early period.
