Karaite Prayer Book. Venice, 1528-1529. The First Karaite Siddur in the World!
Siddur per the Karaite custom, Part V. Venice, Bomberg Press, 1528-1529.
Especially rare first edition of the Karaite siddur and machzor.
The printers divided the set into five parts, but only the first part has a title page.
There are apparently no remaining complete copies of the siddur including all five parts.
Ginzei Yisrael-Osef Mehlman 1838 (incomplete copy). Haberman, HaMadpis Bombergo 145, not listed completely. The National Library does not have a fully complete set.
This is the first part of section V, which includes "Seder Aseret Yemei Rachamim."
121-213 leaf. The fifth section begins with leaf 121, but this copy only has the first part, up to leaf 213, noting 'the prayer is completed.' 18 cm.
Fine condition. Artistically restored sefer with marginal completions. Blemish in isolated words in the upper margins, primarily in some of the leaves. New semi leather binding.
