Southern France on the border of Italy
Aṿignyon is one of the Southern France communities of Carpentras, Aṿignyon, Cavaion and L'Isle sur La. These communities had a slightly different version of the prayer and books such as this one tried to preserve the unique version of these communities (for example, Birkat Hamazon includes a blessing of Harachaman for the bridegroom and more).
Quality and healthy paper with wide margins. Fine contemporary leather bindings, scuffed; one of them, with a spine reinforced with tape. Minor stains. Good overall condition - rare for such books.
