Leather binding. Restorations and completions to title page and several other leaves. The first leaves are browned. Good condition.  The work begins with Birkat Hamazon. Then, printed in it are Zmirot shel Shabbat, Hadlakat Neirot Chanukkah, Birkot Nizzuin, Seder Brit MIlah and Pidyon Haben, Tfillot Lebeit Hachaim, Keriat Shma Sh'al Hamitah, Haggadah shel Pesach and Birkot Hanehenin. The varied parts are accompanied by fine theme-appropriate illustrations such as a Jewish Chppah, lighting the Hanukkah candles, lighting the Sabbath candles (in a hanging chandelier!) and more.  Historiated initials in many passages.  Due to the frequent use of Birkat Hamazon books, not many survived over time and most of them ended in Genizah pits. This item is even rarer since it was printed in grand style and in the first place was designated for wealthy people.
