Order of blessings, "Orden de las bendiciones, Conforme el uso del K.K. de España" [Order of Blessings, according to the rite of the Spanish communities]. Amsterdam: Yshak de Cordova, 1724. Spanish.
Order of year-round blessings and prayers, including Passover Haggadah.
The printer, Yshak de Cordova, was the son of the printer R. Yaakov Chaim de Cordova of Brazil.
Amsterdam had a large Sephardic community in the 17th and 18th centuries. Most of its members were descendants of Marranos who came from Spain and Portugal about a century after the expulsion. The present prayer book was printed for the use of the descendants of those Marranos, who were not fluent in Hebrew.
