Miniature Hebrew Prayer Book, Amsterdam, 1856. A rare and charming miniature Hebrew devotional book printed in Amsterdam in 1856, preserved in a leather binding fitted with metal clasps. The compact volume features gilt decorative tooling to the boards and gilt page edges, and retains its period-style hardware.
The interior shows expected age-related wear including toning, staining, and handling marks, along with later pencil and ink notations and institutional or collector stamps, reflecting a long history of ownership and use. The binding, reportedly replaced in 1915, remains serviceable with both clasps intact, though with wear, surface loss, and abrasion consistent with age and regular handling.
