Prayer on the grave of Zechariah the Prophet—a lone page unknown in bibliographies.
The only one of its kind! A printed page—a prayer to say at the grave of Zechariah the Prophet on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem. From 1880(?)—first printing of the prayer (?)—unknown bibliographically, not in libraries in Israel. Extremely rare. Printed prayers are rare because they are used so heavily and fall apart, even moreso for a single page of this kind (rather than a book), of which perhaps very few copies were ever made. Special prayer. Printed in later siddurim (mainly in the 1940s), but this appears to be its first ever printing. Important item for collectors of Jerusalem printings, and those who collect prayer books. The text is surrounded by a frame, wide margins, good condition. Tears in the margins. Small tear in the text.
