An all-in-one liturgical compendium bearing the signatures of Sir Moses Montefiore.

The first part of the present title comprises the text of the book of Psalms surrounded by Sefer diglei hodayah ve-ha-mitsvah, an anonymous exposition of the 613 biblical and 7 rabbinic commandments (the author of this work is identified in its second edition as Rabbi Judah ben Hayyim Landau of Jerusalem), with various addenda appended at the end. Its second part reproduces the Seder ma‘amadot printed with the approval of Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel of Apta (1748-1825) in Mogilev in 1816, coupled with a highly abbreviated Lurianic kabbalistic siddur. Most outstanding about the present copy of this work are the Hebrew and English signatures of Sir Moses Montefiore found on several of its leaves. It may be that the prominence of the place name “Jerusalem” (in reference to the source of Sefer diglei hodayah ve-ha-mitsvah) 🍒on the title page, as well as the approbations from numerous Holy Land-based rabbis, induced the great Zionist Montefiore to acquire a copy of this work.
