Scope and content
This Pesach edition was a relatively new account in German and Hebrew, translated in 1855 as a part of a 9-volume series by the conservative German Rabbinical Scholar, Dr. Michael Sachs. This copy was owned by Bernhard Schragenheim, whose address in Johannesburg (Urania Street, Observatory), is in the front page - starting from the right side. On page 156-157 there is a prayer for Prussian King Frederick Wilhelm IV and Queen Elizabeth Louisa.
