Year-round Ashkenazi rite machzor, with commentary by R. Binyamin son of R. Meir HaLevi, parts I and II. Sabbioneta-Cremona: Tobias Foa in Sabbioneta [and Vincenzo Conti in Cremona, 1556-1560].
The printing of this machzor, which was begun by Tobias Foa in Sabbioneta, was interrupted with the closure of Foa's press. The printing was completed by Vincenzo Conti in Cremona, who issued two different printings of part II.
Several glosses in early Ashkenazic script. Bound at the end of the machzor are leaves with copyings of piyyutim not appearing in the machzor and a list of selichot for the High Holidays, in early Ashkenazic script.
392, [2] leaves. 20 cm. Fair-good condition. Stains. Some leaves with many stains, including dark dampstains. Wear. Open tears to title page and other leaves, affecting border and text in several places, repaired with paper. Marginal open tears to final two leaves, slightly affecting text, repaired with paper (leaves presumably supplied from a different copy). Worming, affecting text, repaired with paper. Original, early, ornamented leather-covered wood binding; original clasps lacking, replaced with new leather strap closures. Defects to binding.
