Unknown Ancient Book!

I don't see that any one has answered - it's a Jewish prayer book. Late 19th or early 20th century from what I can see. It's a shame the title page is missing.

 

2 full pages of answers........... what r u looking at ???

 

What really this book is?

Nobody has the right answer.

 

We have explained that it is written in Hebrew, that it is probably a Jewish prayer book of some sort, and that it dates to the late 19th - early 20th century based on the illustration you posted. The title page and any page that would have included specific publication information appear to be missing, so we cannot be more specific.

It would have been published in relatively large numbers, and has no value in its current condition.

I would suggest you take the book to a local synagogue, where the Rabbi may recognize it immediately. But he might question how you obtained it.

 

You might want to explore the Jewish tradition of the "genizah" (plural "genizot") -

"Genizot are temporary repositories designated for the storage of worn-out Hebrew language books and papers, typically covering religious topics and/or purposes prior to proper cemetery burial, as it is forbidden to throw away writings containing the name of God. As even personal letters and legal contracts may open with an invocation of God, the contents of genizot have not been limited to religious materials; in practice, they have also contained writings of a secular nature, with or without the customary opening invocation, as well as writings in other Jewish languages that use the Hebrew script (the Judeo-Arabic languages, Judeo-Persian, Judaeo-Spanish, and Yiddish).[7][8]

Genizot are typically found in the attic or basement of a synagogue, but can also be in walls or buried underground. They may also be located in cemeteries.[9]

The contents of genizot are periodically gathered solemnly and then buried in the cemetery or bet ḥayyim. Synagogues in Jerusalem buried the contents of their genizot every seventh year, as well as during a year of drought, believing that this would bring rain. This custom is associated with the far older practice of burying a great or good man with a sefer (either a book of the Tanakh, or the Mishnah, the Talmud, or any work of rabbinic literature) which has become pasul (unfit for use through illegibility or old age). The tradition of paper-interment is known to have been practiced by Jewish communities such as Morocco,[10] Afghanistan,[11] and Egypt. [12]"

He, or if Reform She, might offer to have it buried for you.
