Detailed
Description		    One sheet, appears to have been printed independantly but may very well be from a Selihot or Yom Kippur Mahzor, Ashkenaz rite. The first page has the paragraph preceding the Thirteen Attributes of Mercy and the Thirteen Attributes followed on the second page by penitential piyyutim. The second leaf has the Avinu Malkenu prayer, which is also recited in the Ashkenaz rite during the on fast days, the Ten Days of Penitence, and Yom Kippur. This text, according to a header, is according to the Frankfort on Main rite.

Selihot for the entire year according to the Frankfort rite were printed in Frankfort on Main in 1763 and 1768. While it is possible that this sheet is from one of those editions it is not possible to make a final determination without comparing the sheet to a complete volume. Another possibility is that the sheet was printed in Sulzbach, where several Ashkenaz rite mahzorim were printed in the second half of the the eighteenth century. There are no preforation marks on the fold as these pages were never bound with any book.
