In this book, the translation appears after each verse, because the book is for the worshipers, who read the translation (according to Yemenite customs), and not for the cantor. 194 written leaves, 1 last page with illustration. 20 cm. Thick quality paper, good condition, staining and wear by time. Fine original tan leather binding.
