Summary

Leaves from a manuscript prayer book, likely comprised of Sephardic prayers not in the printed editions of Siddurim and Mahzorim. The prayers were possibly assembled by a gabbai or cantor, with the communal benediction Berikh shemeh in a Ladino adaptation, a prayer for the traveler, a prayer for a soldier in the military, including combatants in an air force (f. 3r); the manuscript was likely in use in Spain or Portugal and the prayers for Jewish soldiers fighting during the Spanish Civil War. Written in a Sephardic semicursive script, and the final folio written with a ballpoint pen.
