Description
   Mit deutscher Uebersetzung und erlaeuternden Anmerkungen von M[oses] I[srael] Landau...

Two volumes of a nine part mahzor with a Judeo-German translation by Moses Israel Landau (1788–1852), printer, publisher, and lexicographer. Born in Prague, grandson of R. Ezekiel Landau, Moses was imbued with the traditional atmosphere of his rabbinical family. At the same time, he devoted himself to secular studies, especially German literature. He established a Hebrew printing press in Prague, which, for more than two decades, published sacred literature along with some contemporary Hebrew works, including several volumes of the scholarly periodical Kerem Hemed. From 1831 until his death he was head of the Prague Jewish community and was instrumental in bringing Solomon Judah Rapoport there to serve as rabbi. From 1849 he served on the Prague municipal council. His other works are Pitron ha-Millot (Prague, 1827), which deals with the difficult terms found in the Torah; an edition of the Hebrew Bible, with a German translation and a Hebrew commentary on several books (1834–38); a German translation of the mahzor with a Hebrew commentary; the kinot for the Ninth of Av; the Passover Haggadah; and Marpe Lashon (Odessa, 1865), a collection of the foreign words in Rashi's commentary on the Bible and the Talmud.
