Detailed Description:
Only edition of this attractive small collection of prayers to be recited in Schule on the night of Simhat Torah after Ma’ariv by members of the Formiggini family of the city of Modena. The title-page states that the prayers are to be like those recited in Jerusalem. On the verso of the tile-page is a press-mark of the printer, Eliezer Solomon, consisting of a shield and within it a squirrel leaning on the right side of a tree and about the pressmark the verse “The righteous bloom like a date-palm” (Psalms 92:12). The text follows with an introductory paragraph as to the prayers to be rcited and then the actual liturgy, attractively set in square vocalized letters.
