 Jewish Liturgy: The Siddur and the Mahzor
While the roots of Jewish prayer can be found in the Hebrew Bible, the fundamentals of the synagogue service as we know it today were initially described in the rabbinic literature of the first centuries of the common era.
The Siddur (containing the daily and Shabbat prayers) and the Mahzor (containing holiday prayers), did not emerge as separate texts and as compendia of Jewish liturgy until the period of the Geonim, the heads of rabbinic academies in Babylonia in the early Middle Ages.
This "Mahzor for the Whole Year according to the Roman Rite" is one of the first printed prayer books from the publishing houses of the Soncino family.

This Mahzor was apparently owned by its patron, Rabbi Joshua bar Isaac, mentioned in the colophon, but used by the Jewish community of Nuremberg, a community whose stormy existence is earliest recorded in 1182.

The enormous Mahzor is composed of two seasonal parts, apparently always bound as one, written in five different hands.
