Arranged and translated by Yosef Naḥmuli, Καθημεριναι Προσευχαι (1885), is a Greek-Hebrew siddur for weekdays and festivals, nusaḥ sefaradi (minhag Corfu). The Greek translation offers, we believe, the first rabbinic Jewish translation of texts from the Hebrew Bible otherwise only available in the Septuagint.

Making digital images of these works available is the first step in our process of making the entire prayerbook, both Hebrew liturgy and Greek translation, machine-readable (copy-pastable and searchable). We are grateful to the Klau Library of Hebrew Union College of making this Public Domain work available to us for digitization from their copy on microfilm.

Please join our transcription and proofreading of this siddur taking place on Greek Wikisource and Hebrew Wikisource.

Κατὰ τὴν χαρμόσυνον ἡμέραν τῶν γενεθλίων τῆς Ὑμετέρας Ὑψηλότητος, καθ’ ἣν ὁ Παντοδύναμος ἐξεπλήρου τὰς εὐχὰς τόσον ἑκατομμυρίων ψυχῶν, ἐτελειοποιεῖτο ἡ ἐκτύπωσις πονηματίου μου ἐπιγραφομένου Ἑβδομὰς τῶν παίδων, ὅπερ σὺν τοῖς ἄλλοις περιεῖχε σύντομον ἱστορίαν τοῦ Ἑλληνικοῦ ἔθνους μέχρι τῶν αἰσίων Γάμων τῶν Σεπτῶν Βασιλέων καὶ Ὑμῶν Γονέων.
Τὸ σπουδαῖον διὰ τὸν Ἑλληνισμὸν τοῦτο συμβὰν, κατεχώρισα, ὡς εἰκὸς, ἐν τῷ πονηματίῳ μου ἐκείνῳ, ὅπερ καὶ ἀφιέρωσα τῇ Ὑμετέρᾳ Ὑψηλότητι, προηγουμένης ἀδείας τῶν Σεπτῶν Βασιλέων, οἵτινες, καί τοι εὐτελεστάτου τοῦ ἔργου μου, οὐχ ἧττον εὐμενῶς ἀπεδέχθησαν αὐτὸ, ἀποβλέποντες εἰς τὸ ὑπ’ αὐτοῦ ἐμπνεόμενον αἴσθημα τῆς ἀγάπης καὶ ἀφοσιώσεως πρός τε τὴν πατρίδα καὶ τὴν Βασιλικὴν Οἰκογένειαν.
Ἀκολουθῶν δὲ νὰ καταγίνωμαι ὅπως, κατὰ τὰς ἀσθενεῖς μου δυνάμεις, διαδίδω μεταξὺ τῶν ὁμοθρήσκων μου τὴν γνῶσιν τῆς ἡδυφώνου τῶν Ἑλλήνων γλώσσης, τοῦ κυριωτέρου τούτου στοιχείου τῆς Ἐθνότητος, ἐπεχείρισα τὴν ἑλληνικὴν μετάφρασιν τῶν Ἰσραηλιτικῶν Καθημερινῶν Προσευχῶν, ἃς καὶ ἐξετύπωσα μετὰ τοῦ ἑβραϊκοῦ κειμένου.
Τὸ πόνημα τοῦτο εἰς Ὑμᾶς, Ὑψηλότατε, ὅστις θείᾳ συνάρσει, μετὰ τὴν πολυχρόνιον καὶ ἔνδοξον Βασιλείαν τοῦ Σ. Ὑμῶν Πατρὸς καὶ δημοφιλοῦς Βασιλέως ἡμῶν ΓΕΩΡΓΙΟΥ τοῦ Α΄, ὀφείλετε νὰ ἀναβῆτε τὸν Ἑλληνικὸν Θρόνον, εἰς Ὑμᾶς, λαβὼν τὴν Ἀνωτέραν ἄδειαν, ἀνατίθημι, ἐπανορθόνων οὕτω κατά τι τὸ εὐτελὲς τοῦ πρώτου Ὑμῖν ἀφιερωθέντος πονηματίου μου.
Ἱκετεύω ἑπομένως τὴν Ὑμετέραν Υψηλότητα, ἵνα εὐδοκήσῃ ν’ ἀποδεχθῇ αὐτὸ εὐμενῶς.
Τῆς Ὑμετέρας Ὑψηλότητος
Εὐπειθέστατος

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.
