Description		    Instructional material, laws and prayers, for Jewish youth. The title page states that it is to “teach knowledge” (Isaiah 28:9) to Jewish children to, “keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judgment” (Genesis 18:19), collected and written by the youth, Nathan ben Naphtali ha-Levi Eschwege, who is a teacher in Hochberg. This text is repeated below in German. The verso of the title page has a dedication to the author’s father, R. Naphtali ben Shimon ha-Levi, who was a teacher in Karboch and to his mother Leah ben Asher. Next is an approbation from R. Seligman Framan and below, in German, from Rabbi Dr. Plato, director of the Seminary in Hochberg. A table of contents follows, a forward in Yiddish, and then the text which addresses the fundamentals of Judaism. It begins with the unity and love of the Lord, the ten commandments, the thirteen ikkarim of Maimonides, and the reward of mitzvot. Among the contents are also how to arise in the morning, morning prayers, the holiness of Shabbat, prohibition of work on Shabbat, preparing for Shabbat, a discussion of the festivals, and the laws of zizit. The text is set in a single column in square letters, and written in a clear lucid Hebrew.
