Vienna, Anton Schmid, 1838.
Sephardic Rite Prayer Book, published in Vienna
The prayer book was evidently rebound in 1869, when the name of the owner and a number of blank leaves were added, on two of which an elaborate dedication was written by the bookbinder, dated 28 of August 1869.Anton Schmid was a Christian publisher of Hebrew books, who benefited greatly from the 1800 ordinance prohibiting the import of Hebrew books by Jews (who were themselves excluded from the publishing business). He employed a number of Jewish typesetters and proof readers, mainly from Galicia, who were granted special residence permits in Vienna.
