In classic antiquity and the Roman Empire, quadrigae were cars or chariots drawn by four horses abreast and favored for chariot racing. The word derives from the Latin quadrigae, a contraction of quadriiugae, from quadri-: four, and iugum: yoke. In Latin the word quadrigae is almost always used in the plural and usually refers to the team of four horses rather than the chariot they pull; this is attested to by Roman author and grammarian Aulus Gellius (lived from circa 125 to 180 CE) who documented that Julius Caesar considered it incorrect to use the word in the singular (see Noctes Atticae 19.8). In Greek, a four-horse chariot was known as τέθριππον téthrippon. y estos caballos. Me nosotros enmintamos el nobre de HASHEM nuestro Dio.

To the best of my ability, this is a faithful transcription of Psalms 20 from תהילים או לוס סאלמוס ; טריסלאד’אד’וס דיל לשון הקדש אין לה לינגואה ספרדית (Tehillim, or the Psalms, translated from the Holy language [Hebrew] into the Sephardic language, Estampado por Ǧ. Griffit 1852/3) from a digital copy made available by the collection of Sephardic Studies at the University of Washington. The Romanized Ladino was offered by Shmuel Gonzales according to the transliteration schema of Dr. Lazar. –Aharon N. Varady

Psalms 20 is traditionally recited in times of stress, especially during childbirth.

Psalms 20 is recited in its entirety as part of the daily shaḥarit service, between Ashrei and Uva Letziyon (at the end of shaḥarit). Psalms 20:2 and Psalms 20:10 are part of the opening paragraph of the long Tachanun recited on Mondays and Thursdays. Psalms 20:10 is also the 11th verse of V’hu Raḥum and the final verse of Yehi Kavod in Pesukei Dezimra; it is included in Uva Letzion; it is the second of two verses recited as an introduction at Maariv; and it is part of series of verses introducing the Havdalah for Shabbat.

The special Ladino diacritic appearing over some of the letters (e.g., שﬞ) is called a varika.

David ben Yishai (traditional attribution)

David ben Yishai was the second king of the United Kingdom of Israel and Judah, reigning ca. 1010–970 BCE. While almost half of the Psalms are headed "l'David" and tradition identifies several with specific events in David’s life (e.g., Psalms № 3, 7, 18, 34, 51, 52, 54, 56, 57, 59, 60, 63 and 142), most scholars consider these headings to be late additions and that no psalm can be attributed to David with certainty. 1 Samuel 16:15-18 describes David as a skillful harp (lyre) player and "the sweet psalmist of Israel."

Estampado por Ǧ. Griffit (translation)

George Griffith was an English Protestant whose missionary press in Izmir published Ladino translations of the Scriptures in the mid-19th century Ottoman Empire. Established in 1838 to serve the Anglican mission, Estampado por Ǧ. Griffit was the only press in Izmir with a Sepharadi cursive ("Rashi") typeface available for publishing in Ladino.

Additional Notes:

The views expressed in this work represent the views of their creator(s) and do not necessarily represent the views of the Open Siddur Project's developers, its diverse community of contributors, patrons, or institutional partners.
We strongly advise against printing sacred texts and art containing divine names as these copies must be regarded with reverence, complicating their casual treatment and disposal.
If you must dispose of a printed sacred text (one containing Divine Names), please locate the closest genizah (often established by a synagogue) and contact its custodians for further instructions. We also recommend using Morah Yehudis Fishman's Prayer for Adding a Work to the Genizah.

Support this work: The Open Siddur Project is a volunteer-driven, non-profit, non-denominational, non-prescriptive, gratis & libre Open Access archive of contemplative praxes, liturgical readings, and Jewish prayer literature (historic and contemporary, familiar and obscure) composed in every era, region, and language Jews have ever prayed. Our goal is to provide a platform for sharing open-source resources, tools, and content for individuals and communities crafting their own prayerbook (siddur). Through this we hope to empower personal autonomy, preserve customs, and foster creativity in religious culture. If you like what you've found here, please help keep our project alive and online with your financial contribution.
