:''For the sculptor, see Vadim Sidur.'' A siddur ((ヘブライ語:סדור) (:siˈduʁ); plural סדורים, (:siduˈʁim)) is a Jewish prayer book, containing a set order of daily prayers. The word ''siddur'' comes from the Hebrew root (ヘブライ語:סד״ר) meaning "order". ==History of the siddur== The earliest parts of Jewish prayer book are the ''Shema Yisrael'' ("Hear O Israel") (Deuteronomy 6:4 ''et seq''), and the Priestly Blessing (Numbers 6:24-26), which are in the Torah. A set of eighteen (currently nineteen) blessings called the ''Shemoneh Esreh'' or the ''Amidah'' (Hebrew, "standing ()"), is traditionally ascribed to the Great Assembly in the time of Ezra, at the end of the Biblical period. The name ''Shemoneh Esreh'', literally "eighteen", is a historical anachronism, since it now contains nineteen blessings. It was only near the end of the Second Temple period that the eighteen prayers of the weekday Amidah became standardized. Even at that time their precise wording and order was not yet fixed, and varied from locale to locale. Many modern scholars believe that parts of the Amidah came from the Hebrew apocryphal work Ben Sira. According to the Talmud, soon after the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem a formal version of the Amidah was adopted at a rabbinical council in Yavne, under the leadership of Rabban Gamaliel II and his colleagues. However, the precise wording was still left open. The order, general ideas, opening and closing lines were fixed. Most of the wording was left to the individual reader. It was not until several centuries later that the prayers began to be formally fixed. By the Middle Ages the texts of the prayers were nearly fixed, and in the form in which they are still used today. The siddur was printed by Soncino in Italy as early as 1486, though a siddur was first mass-distributed only in 1865 . The siddur began appearing in the vernacular as early as 1538. The first - unauthorized - English translation, by Gamaliel ben Pedahzur (a pseudonym), appeared in London in 1738; a different translation was released in the United States in 1837.〔(Power and Politics: Prayer books and resurrection | Jerusalem Post )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「siddur」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
