RARE LIMITED EDITION OF 300 COPIES. This is COPY No.212. This book is a facsimile edition of "Machzor Eretz Israel", one of the oldest medieval Jewish manuscripts in Hebrew.

The codex was recollected and reconstructed by Joseph Yahalom, who along with Edna Engel has added a preface and an index to the facsimile. The codex features a very elegant script and various prayers and customs that did not survive in later prayer books. 345x240mm. 42+96 pages. Grey cloth Hardcover with illustrated dust-jacket. Gilt lettering on spine. Jacket rubbed, wrinkled and dirty. Jacket edges/corners worn. Cover slightly curved. Spine edges slightly bumped.
