Detail Description
Lamentations for the Ninth of Ab following the rite and custom of Ashkenaz with Judeo-German translation in Vaybertaytsh font.. Since the first publication of the group of kinot according to the Ashkenazi rite (Cracow, 1585), hundreds of editions have appeared, both with and without commentaries.
Vaybertaytsh (Yiddish: װײַבערטײַטש, 'women's taytsh') or mashket (Yiddish: מאַשקעט), is a semi-cursive script typeface for the Yiddish alphabet. From the 16th until the early 19th century, the mashket font distinguished Yiddish publications, whereas Hebrew square script were used for classical texts in Hebrew and Aramaic, and "Rashi" script for rabbinic commentaries and works in Ladino. Mashket was used for printing Yiddish in the Old Yiddish literature period, and later as the primary script used in texts for and by Jewish women, ranging from folktales to women's supplications and prayers, to didactic works.
