A scarce Ashkenazic rite Selichot prayer book with commentary by Yosef Yuspa ben Moshe Cosman. The Proops family were a dynasty of well known Hebrew printers, publishers and booksellers in Amsterdam. Solomon Ben Yosef (d. 1734), whose father may have been a Hebrew printer as well, was an established bookseller in Amsterdam when in 1704 he set up his own Hebrew press, which produced mainly liturgical books as well as works on halakhah, Kabbalah, Jewish ethics and history. From 1715 productions by Proops carried advertisements of books he had published, and in 1730 he issued a sales catalogue, the first such Hebrew publication. After his death, appointed guardians continued to operate the press, and even when his three sons took over, they continued trade under the old name until 1751, and later - under their own names. Solomon ben Abraham Proops, grandson of Solomon Ben Yosef split from the family printing house in 1797 and continued to work alone until 1827. In 1785 Joseph Proops sold most of his work to Kurzbeck of Vienna, and when Proops died a year later, his widow and sons continued printing on a small scale, with various partners, until early 19th century. This book was presumably printed by one of the sons. Yosef Yuspa ben Moshe Cosman (c. 1685-1758) was an German rabbi and author, grandson of rabbi Joseph Yuspa NÃ rdlinger Hahn. Many of Yosef Yuspa's works were never published, but some where brought to print during his lifetime; the commentary 'HaMasbir' for this prayer book was his first publication.

First edition; 4to (20.5 x 13.5 cm); 114 leaves; pagination in Hebrew; leaves browned, wear and occasional small tears to margins of leaves. Half cloth marbled boards, hinges and corners restored. Scarce publication of Ashkenazic Penitential prayers for the whole year, one of the first Hebrew parayer books to be printed in London. In the 1770s, several Hebrew prayer books were printed in London for the first time by three different Jewish publishers: A. Alexander & Son, David Levi and a new Jewish publishing house, responsible for publishing this book, established by Isaac ben Yedidi, Moshe ben Gershon and Ya'akov ben Issaschar. Unlike Levi and Alexander this group printed books exclusively in Hebrew and Yiddish. Their first publication is said to have been the Toledoth Jacob, a work written by an immigrant Polish scholar named Jacob Eisenstadt. It was followed by a portly liturgy book with Yiddish translation published in 1770/1 in three quarto volumes. All three publications are considered to be very rare, with only a small number of surviving copies. We could not locate any copies in the ESTC. Vinograd, London 57; Roth B8:13.

8vo; Hebrew manuscript on vellum, in square Ashkenazi script; modern marbled half-calf, spine with raised bands and blind-tooled ornaments; one half-page colour illustration; 10 ll pp. A unique Selichoth manuscript on vellum 'Belonging to the heroes of the Chevra Kadisha on the holy community of Schottland'. A rare relic from a 19th-century Jewish community in northern Poland. During the time when Jews were banned from settling in the city of Danzig (Gdansk), they lived in the small towns of Schottland, Weinberg and Langfur, which together formed the 'Shul' community, (an abbreviation of these towns' names in Hebrew). Two important figures served as Rabbis of this small community: Rabbi Meir Posner (author of 'Beit Meir'), a phenomenal Torah scholar who was in contact with Rabbi Akiva Eiger and the Chatam Sofer, as well as Rabbi Elchanan Ashkenazi (author of 'Sidrei Taharah'), a student of Rabbi Ya'akov Popresh and Rabbi Zvi Hirsch Charif. The fasting day of K"A Kislev for which the Selichoth were written is not marked by the Ashkenazi Jewish communities of our times and very little is known about it. The little information in existence relates to the city of Prague, where the Jews used to observe this day of fasting to commemorate the many Jews who were tragically killed in 1744 by the Austrians (presumably around the time when Empress Maria Theresa, signed an edict ordering the expulsion of all Jews). This might also explain the only colour illustration in the manuscript which depicts the tomb of the Maharal of Prague. It is presumed that this fasting day was also observed by other Jewish communities in Poland.
