Unique prayer version for the wellbeing of Emperor Napoleon and thanksgiving for his victories in battle. [Germany]. C. 1805.One leaf. Printed on one side. 30:19 cm. Titled 'Toda V'Tefila'. It begins 'Gadol HaEitza V'Rav HaAlila...'. The font and print format indicate that it was not printed in Paris. The leaf was apparently printed in Germany in [1805] after Napoleon's greatest and most significant victories in December 1805 when he routed the Austrian and Russian armies in the battle near Austerlitz.Vinograd, [Germany 39], notes that this leaf was printed in Germany. Since this catalogue features another version of this leaf that was printed in Paris, it is very possible that this leaf was in fact printed in Germany.This leaf features instructions for the worshippers to recite chapters 21, 46, 72, 91 in Psalms prior to this prayer, and chapters 100, 117, 133, 144 following the prayer. >> Note the interesting variations between this leaf and the other leaf printed in Paris, which can also be found in this catalogue.
