Year-round Siddur according to the Sephardic rite. Venice: Alvise Bragadin, 1703-1704.
Divisional title page on leaf 129: "Order of prayers for festivals and holidays". Does not contain leaves 241-400 with order of prayers for high holidays and fast days (which is also a section with a divisional title page).

In this interesting introduction, the publisher likewise recounts his many wanderings, beginning in Strasbourg where he served as Rabbi, from which he fled to Venice, immigrated to Jerusalem, relocated to Syria and returned to Venice.
