Seder Sefirat HaOmer and Birkat HaLevana, Sephardi Rite - Amsterdam, 1862 - Small Format - Unusual Text for Last Day of Sefirah
Seder Sefirat HaOmer, with Birkat HaLevana, Sephardi rite. [Amsterdam]: J. B. de Mesquita, 1862. Small format (5.8 cm).
The book opens with the blessing for counting the Omer and with the prayer recited after the counting. This is followed by the full text for each day's counting, a separate page for each day, with the Hebrew text above and the numbers of the days and weeks in Latin script below. The latter is written in the following manner (in Spanish or Portuguese): H [=Hoy/Hoje, today], S [=Semana, week], D [=Día/Dia, day]. Afterward, the Birkat HaLevana and the subsequent prayers are printed.
On p. 54 is an unusual text for the counting of the last day of the Omer: "Today is forty-nine days of the Omer which are seven complete weeks" (instead of "seven weeks"). This text appears in the machzor of the Aleppo rite, Venice 1527, and is similar to the Yemenite text and the text of the Geonim [see: Mekorei HaTefillah, R. A. Zlotnik, Jerusalem 2015, Part 2, p. 169].

Several leaves trimmed on text border. Gilt edges. Original binding, partially detached and slightly damaged, with gold blocking: "Sefirat HaOmer". Placed in a cardboard sleeve.
