All I have figured out so far that it looks like Hungarian. There is a hotel by that name in Solymar. I am still looking for an answer. I sent the picture to a Ukrainian client of mine. He might know a little bit of the language.

Yes, it is Hungarian, it is printed in "Pesten 1845." (Budapest). And translation of red letters would be "Gold crown, prayer book".

Anything new?

Also, i dont want to open a new topic, so could anyone tell me something about this little prayer book?
How old  could it be? Does it worth anything?

Good job on that translation magelan! It is awfully hard to know the date on a book if there is no publication date. We can get an approximate date by checking when the publisher was in business. Can you identify the name of the publisher?

I only have these pictures. The same guy who sold me a Bible thought i might be interested. So if someone with more experience  could take a closer look maybe he could find it.  ???
