A complete transcription of a collection of teḥinot written in German, the first compilation of Jewish prayers known to be authored by a Jewish woman in a language other than English, Stunden der Andacht (1855/1858) by Fanny Schmiedl Neuda. . . .
This is the anthology of teḥinot in in German compiled by Meir haLevi Letteris, תחנוני בת יהודה (Taḥnunei bat Yehudah) Andachtsbuch für israelitische Frauenzimmer zur öffentlichen und häuslichen Erbauung in allen Berhältnissen des Lebens als Jungfrau, Brant, Gattin und Mutter, originally published in 1846. . . .
These are Yehoshua Heshil Miro’s anthologies of teḥinot, beginning with תחנות Teḥinot ein Gebetbuch für gebildete Frauenzimmer mosaischer Religion (1829), one of the earliest anthologies of teḥinot published in German rather than Yiddish. A slightly revised edition with six pieces added and three removed followed in 1833. That work served as the basis for a much larger compilation, בית יעקב (Beit Yaaqov) Allgemeines Gebetbuch für gebildete Frauen mosaischer Religion (1835), which, for the first time, printed the tehinot in German in a Latin (rather than Hebrew) script using the then common Fraktur typeface. A slightly enlarged expanded edition of Beit Yaaqov published in 1842 contains an additional teḥinah (as well as approbations by Rabbi Abraham Geiger and Rabbi Solomon Tiktin). . . .
