Machzor for the Three Festivals, Part II, according to the rite of Belarus, Lithuania, Poland, Bohemia and Moravia (Nusach Ashkenaz), with Hebrew commentary and Yiddish translation. Józefów, 1844.
The title page states: "Printed in Józefów in the printing press which was previously in Slavita, under the supervision of R. Chanina Lipa Shapira, grandson of the rabbi of Slavita". The word "In Slavita" is emphasized – printed in enlarged letters, in red.
The Shapira printing press was reestablished in Józefów by members of the Shapira family, in place of the Slavita printing press, which was closed by government order in 1836. The printing press operated in Józefów for a short period (1842-1844), during which only a few titles were published. The printers then relocated to Zhitomir, where their printing press would operate between 1847-1867.
