The edict was first printed in 1670 in Modena, by the printer Viviano Soliani.

Orden de Roshasanah y Kipur, machzor for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, with selichot, translated into Spanish. [Dordrecht (the Netherlands)]: [P. Verhagen] for Yahacob Israel, [1584].
This machzor edition is considered the first prayer book printed in the Netherlands for the Sephardic Jews who settled there (the first part of this machzor, for the three festivals, was printed two months prior). At that time, Jewish settlement in the Netherlands was still in its infancy, and the Amsterdam Jewish community had not yet been founded.
The colophon on the final page, lacking in the present copy, states Mainz (Maguntia) as place of printing (based on this colophon, this machzor is known as "Machzor Maguntia"). The place of printing was presumably forged to mislead the Christian censorship, and the machzor was actually printed in Dordrecht in the P. Verhagen press.
Censorship deletions in several places. Inscriptions on title page and endpapers.
24, 33-326 leaves. Lacking leaves 25-32, and final leaf (altogether 9 leaves, replaced with blank leaves). 14 cm. Colored edges. Most leaves in good condition. Stains. Open tear to title page, affecting border, repaired with paper. Minor open tears to several other leaves. Early leather binding, with gilt decorations on spine.

Letter from Sir Moses Montefiore (1784-1885), to R. Nathan Markus Adler – chief rabbi of the British Empire. Ramsgate (England), December 18, 1882. English.
Written by a scribe on official stationery, with Montefiore's signature.
In his letter, Sir Moses Montefiore writes to R. Adler: " I thank you very much for the trouble you take about the Jaffa Biara [orchard]; it is a beautiful piece of ground, and I have no doubt, one of these days, as soon as a railway will be made in that neighborhood, it will become very valuable".
The letter relates to the orchard purchased by Montefiore in Jaffa in 1855. The orchard, known as Montefiore Orchard (or Montefiore Garden), referred to in this letter as "Jaffa Garden" and "Jaffa Biara" (Arabic) – is considered to be the first Jewish orchard in Eretz Israel. Over the years, the orchard knew better and worse times, encountered various difficulties and changes in the management. Many of Montefiore's colleagues, including R. Nathan Marcus Adler, attempted to arrange the sale or lease of the orchard, claiming it was unprofitable. Nevertheless, Montefiore refused to give up ownership of the orchard, which was important to him for reasons beyond profit. A railway line was indeed laid in the area several years after this letter was written (the Jaffa-Jerusalem line was officially inaugurated in 1892), and the value of the ground increased, though the orchard itself did not survive.
Montefiore, who headed the Sephardic community of London, had a long-standing friendship with R. Nathan Marcus Adler (1803-1890), the chief rabbi of the British Empire. The cordial relationship between them, which was accompanied by extensive correspondence, led to cooperation in a variety of community projects, including raising funds for the Jewish Yishuv in Eretz Israel. R.

Written by a scribe on official stationery, with Montefiore's signature.
In his letter, Sir Moses Montefiore writes to R. Adler: " I thank you very much for the trouble you take about the Jaffa Biara [orchard]; it is a beautiful piece of ground, and I have no doubt, one of these days, as soon as a railway will be made in that neighborhood, it will become very valuable".
The letter relates to the orchard purchased by Montefiore in Jaffa in 1855. The orchard, known as Montefiore Orchard (or Montefiore Garden), referred to in this letter as "Jaffa Garden" and "Jaffa Biara" (Arabic) – is considered to be the first Jewish orchard in Eretz Israel. Over the years, the orchard knew better and worse times, encountered various difficulties and changes in the management. Many of Montefiore's colleagues, including R. Nathan Marcus Adler, attempted to arrange the sale or lease of the orchard, claiming it was unprofitable. Nevertheless, Montefiore refused to give up ownership of the orchard, which was important to him for reasons beyond profit. A railway line was indeed laid in the area several years after this letter was written (the Jaffa-Jerusalem line was officially inaugurated in 1892), and the value of the ground increased, though the orchard itself did not survive.
Montefiore, who headed the Sephardic community of London, had a long-standing friendship with R. Nathan Marcus Adler (1803-1890), the chief rabbi of the British Empire. The cordial relationship between them, which was accompanied by extensive correspondence, led to cooperation in a variety of community projects, including raising funds for the Jewish Yishuv in Eretz Israel. R. Adler, who by the power of his position as chief rabbi headed the United Synagogue, an organization that united all the orthodox communities of Britain, gathered the funds raised by the synagogues and sent them to Eretz Israel through Montefiore's representatives.
