Precationes Hebraicae (Hebrew prayers), with an abridged version of Sefer Amana. Isny (Germany). 1542. Paulus Fagius printing. Version of the Birkat HaMazon in Hebrew with Latin translation and explanation followed by the "revised" Christian version of section of the Birkat HaMazon where Jewish motifs are replaced by Christian Messiah motifs. This is followed by a text in Hebrew and Latin: "The things that prevent Jews from believing in the Messiah", which is an abridged version of the missionary book Sefer Amana.
