It is not an obvious choice for a Judaica Collection which poses many dilemmas we had solve. Working together and getting assistance from other experts makes it possible. Tali Winkler and Konstanze Kunst We will be talking about a unique 19th-century prayer book printed in Amsterdam. The book contains three separate parts, one of which contained no publication information. It also contains an inscription written by a father upon the circumcision and naming of his son in 1832. We will talk about the acquisition of the object as well as the unique cataloging challenges it presented. Haim Gottschalk Haim will be discussing cataloging the Tur Yoreh Deah printed by Eliezer ben Alantansi in Hijar, Spain in 1486 and the challenges it posed in particular understanding the nature of how the quires were signed. ********************************************************************* Haim A.
