    Ashkenazi Siddur beginning with “Adon ‘olam” and ending with the blessing for Hallel. It is decorated with very handsome initials. The manuscript is probably of Italian origin insofar as: the decoration (leaf 8v) at the beginning of the Pesuke de-zimrah is similar to that found in Italian incunabula; the vocalization at its beginning follows a Sephardi pattern; the capitals (leaves 1v, 24r, 52r) bear a resemblance to early woodcuts; and the presence of self-imposed censorship in the ‘Alenu prayer (leaf 40v).
