Beth Tephilah [prayers through the year].
According to Sephardic rite.
REMARKABLE FEAT OF PRINTING WITH AN INORDINATE USE OF RED COLORED TYPE.
ff. (1), (195). Lightly browned in places, label removed from rear pastedown. later gilt-ruled morocco, spine in compartments, a.e.g., gilt dentelles, 16mo.
Unrecorded by Vinograd and other standard bibliographers.
Vienna, A. della Torre, 1857.
Primarily printed in black with continuous flourishes in red - extending from two words (f. 171r) to three entire pages - excluding a two-word head-note! (ff. 81r-82r).
The appearance here of typeface in red is often used to highlight a particularly poignant or solemn passage of the prayers, and yet at times the reason seems to be no more than bibliophilic fancy!
AN UNRECORDED AND HIGHLY UNUSUAL PRAYER BOOK.
