Mahzor

The word “Mahzor,” familiar to most Jews as the term used for the prayer book for the High Holidays, means “cycle.” It can therefore be used to describe a book containing any liturgical cycle—from brief (say, for the autumn holidays, from Rosh Hashana to Sukkot) to including the entire year. Sometimes the term was also used to describe a text created in codex = book form, as opposed to a traditional Jewish scroll.
