"Hours Of Devotion" Book Of Prayer And Devotion For Israel's Women And Maids For Public And House Devotion As Well As For All Circumstances Of Female Life

Budapest: M.E. Loewy & Son, Circa 1900. 8vo, 163, [4] pp, red decorative cloth with gilt. A collection of prayers for Jewish women; according to one scholar, "My guess is that this collection dates from the late nineteenth for early twentieth century. The ideal expressed represents a reaction to changing roles of women at that time, rather than a 'traditional' tkhine" (Goldberg, Jewish Passages: Cycles of Jewish Life, 307). An attractive copy with spine lettering dulled, corners slightly bowed, pages toned. Item #7885
