Buyer's premium:

1. Slichot for the High Holidays together with a siddur unknown to the bibliographic records, following the minhag of Bohemia, Moravia, Austria, and Hungary. Title page claims it also includes Zechor Brit LaMilah (but it is not inside). Printed by Adalbert Della Torre in Vienna, 1863. 58, 27 leaves.

The only copy found in the National Library is partially missing and does not have the Siddur of Shacharit for the weekday which appears in the copy here, and it is also not listed in bibliographic records.

Original, old binding, a little worn and partially detached. Stains, overall good condition.


2. Siddur Tefillat Chaim HaChadash, part 1 with Shacharit for weekdays only (additional sections were not printed)—under each Hebrew word is a Yiddish translation (in the style of the well-known Yesod Malchut, printed around 100 years earlier). Pietrekov 1905. [2], 62 leaves. Old, detached binding, paper is dry at the edges with a few tears in the margins. Stains, overall good condition.
