SIDDUR (DAILY PRAYER BOOK) ACCORDING TO THE GENERAL ASHKENAZIC RITE (MINHAG ASHKENAZ), EDITED BY RABBI AARON BEN JEHIEL MIKHL HA-LEVI OF MICHALISZKI, SLAVUTA: RABBI SAMUEL ABRAHAM SHAPIRO, 1832-1833

When Seder tefillat nehora was first printed in 1811 (see lot 182), expense prohibited the publishers from including all the material compiled by the editors. This problem was remedied in the Vilna-Grodno edition of 1818, to which Rabbi Aaron ha-Levi was able to make “new additions,” including intentions drawn from sifrei yere’im (books of the Godfearing). After 1819, the work began appearing under the title Sedef tefillat nehora ha-shalem, in either general Ashkenazic (minhag ashkenaz) or Hasidic (minhag sefarad) versions. The present lot is a rare copy of the former, issued only a short time before the Shapiro press ceased operations in 1836.
