Machzor per the Roma community custom, Part II, with an elucidation of foreign words and precious comments … Venice, di Gara Press, 1587-1606.
Machzor for the Tishrei prayers and public fasts.
The title page states: 1587, and the colphon on leaf 347: Entirely completed on … 12 Tishrei, 1606.
This important machzor was printed in Venice in 1587 and again in 1606-1607; and in Mantua in 1776. There are copies known to contain some of the leaves from different editions. The National Library catalog notes “all the copies have leaves bound in them from other releases.”
The title page is from a special variant. Bibliographers indicated signs for differentiating between the the original title page and the title page printed in Mantua. On the original title page: “Con licentia.” On the fraudulent title page: “Con licenza.” However, this is a third variant (refer to the photocopy).
Rare machzor.
