Paragraph 1    The copy of Gittel daughter of Jacob Eger of Prague with inscription on fly. The Eger family was established for a long time at Halberstadt, Germany. It appears to have been originally known by the name of "Gins" or "Ginsmann," by which appellation the first two definitely authenticated members, Mayer and David, are known. R. Akiba Eger of Posen, likewise called himself "Ginsmann" while in Friedland. To the same family probably belongs Jacob Egers, sometimeteacher at the Training-School for Teachers in Berlin.
          
Detailed
Description		    Selihot for the entire year arranged according to the custom of Moravia, Bohemia, Hungary, Silesia, and Poland. The title describes what makes this Selihot unique, namely, the inclusion of pizmonim so that it will not be necessary to search after them as everything is in its place, not delaying or distracting the user from his prayers. Also, when the attractiveness of the work is seen one will open their mouth with song and praise. This is a selihot for Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur, with the addition of R. Cara's selihot for recital in Prague in commemoration of events. The selihot are set in square vocalized type. Many initial words in decorative woodcuts, instructions in Judeo-German in Waberish fonts.

Selihot are a special order of service consisting of non-statutory additional prayers which are recited on all fast days, on occasions of special intercession and during the Penitential season which begins before Rosh HaShanah and concludes with the Day of Atonement. The word selihah means forgiveness, and in the singular is used to indicate a piyyut whose subject is a plea for forgiveness for sins.
