The Ladino Mahzor of Ferrara, 1553. A Critical Edition
Culver City, CA: Labyrinthos, 1993. Deluxe Limited Edition. Hardcover. 1/200. 4to. XVI, 292, 9 pp. on acid-free paper. Original green smyth-sewn clothbound with gold illustration on front cover and gilt lettering on spine. Ribbon marker. Eighth volume in the "Sephardic Classical Library" series. A critical edition of the Ladino Mahzor of Ferrara [1553] for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, based on a copy preserved in the Rare Book Department of The Free Library of Philadelphia; its origins are derived from a more complete Ladino Siddur including the prayers for all days of the year, printed in Ferrara in 1552. The texts, which are common to both prayer books, offer in many instances diverging translations. The 1553 edition seems to have been executed in haste by different typesetters, as shown by the great number of typographical omissions and errors, which are corrected in the present edition and explained at the rear of the volume. Includes a selected bibliography. Preface, Introduction, Notes and Corrections in English; text in romanized Ladino. Fine condition. vg. Item #26647
