Hardcover. Etat : VG. 1st Edition. First Edition of the First English Translation of the Jewish Prayerbook. Octavo. Contemporary full brown calf gilt. Spine in six compartments separated by raised bands (lacking title piece; front joint cracked and reinforced; some scraping and bumping at the extremities). Library notations (with deaccession stamp). Housed in modern full black morocco clamshell box. Pagination: xiv, 96, 291, [7] pages. First Edition of the First English Translation of the Jewish Prayerbook. This publication is a significant milestone in English Judaica as it presents the first comprehensive translation of Jewish prayers into English. It includes detailed explanations of Anglo-Jewish customs and ceremonies, and its prayer format is designed to assist those unfamiliar with Hebrew in following synagogue services. According to the Encyclopedia Judaica, "The work sheds light on the life and customs of London Jewry in the 18th century." The transliterated Hebrew offers insights into the pronunciation used by Anglo-Jews of that era. The author extensively discusses community superstitions related to the evil eye and spirits. Abraham Mears, writing under the pseudonym "Gamaliel ben Pedahzur, Gent," hailed from one of the oldest Ashkenazi families in England. His translation marks the first complete English rendition of the Jewish liturgy. Cecil Roth in The Great Synagogue notes that the introductory description of Jewish rites and ceremonies "is of considerable interest, providing a graphic, detailed, and occasionally amusing depiction of Jewish life in London" (73-75). The subsequent English translation of a Jewish prayerbook began publication in 1760 in New York by Isaac Pinto. Provenance Robert Eglesfield Library, Queen's College, Oxford; their engraved bookplate with ink deaccession stamp. Book.…

The earliest translation to English of the Jewish Prayer-book. This comprehensive, and occasionally rather critical, study of Jewish life and practices is dominated by the first English translation of any part of the Siddur, the definitive Jewish prayer-book. Translated by Abraham Mears (under the pseudonym of Gamaleil Ben Pedahzur, according to Roth), an apostate member of the English Ashkenazi community, it was intended as an exposition of Judaism rather than a service book, but in providing phonetic translations of the Hebrew title of each prayer Mears explicitly promotes its use 'to Beginners in the Hebrew Tongue' and 'all Persons that resort to the Synagogues'. The transliterated Hebrew title for each prayer is found in the margins, enabling the curious non-Hebrew reading Christian to attend and follow a synagogue service. The transliteration of the Hebrew characters provides a clue as to how Hebrew was pronounced in the eighteenth-century Ashkenazi community of London. The book was not intended for liturgical use, but rather for scholarly readership, so it is not in effect a prayer-book. It reflects the growing interest in Judaism on the part of non-Jewish Englishmen of the eighteenth century. First edition, 8vo (20.5 x 13 cm); xiv, 96; 291, [7] pp.; modern blue cloth boards; first and last leaf restored with some marginal loss of text; edges stained, corners rubbed.
