Introduction to the Finding Aid

An Overview of the Collection

The art of Hebrew printing began in the fifteenth century, but it was the sixteenth century that saw its true flowering. As pioneers, the first Hebrew printers laid the groundwork for all the achievements to come, setting standards of typography and textual authenticity that still inspire admiration and awe.1 But it was in the sixteenth century that the Hebrew book truly came of age, spreading to new centers of culture, developing features that are the hallmark of printed books to this day, and witnessing the growth of a viable book trade. And it was in the sixteenth century that many classics of the Jewish tradition were either printed for the first time or received the form by which they are known today.2

The Library of Congress holds 675 volumes printed either partly or entirely in Hebrew during the sixteenth century. Many, though not all, of these books came to the Library via , the legendary bookseller and bibliophile whose collections, purchased through the generosity of H. Schiff in 1912 and 1914, form the nucleus of the Hebraic Section at the Library of Congress.3 And in conjunction with the activities marking the centennial of this first, all-important donation, the Hebraic Section is pleased to offer a Finding Aid for one of the richest and most important groups of books in the Deinard collections.

The Library’s 675 Hebrew books from the sixteenth century constitute one quarter of the approximately 2,700 titles known to have been printed in Hebrew from 1501-1599, according to the most recent estimates.4 At first glance, 25% might seem somewhat less than impressive, but it is important to remember that many of these 2,700 titles consist of multi-volume works such as the or the Babylonian , which alone went through many, many editions over the course of the sixteenth century. With this point in mind, the Library’s collection of sixteenth-century Hebrew books can, in fact, be seen as representative of the whole in terms of genres and authorship, and highly comprehensive in terms of geographical span. The Library of Congress holds books printed by almost all of the great printers of Hebrew in the sixteenth century and from almost every or city where Hebrew books were printed over the course of the century, in , Eastern , and the .5 Its collections can also boast of an impressive number of printing firsts. Amongst these we could mention:

1 Hebrew printing began around 1470 and centered in Italy, , and . Of the some 140 titles known today (estimates vary), the Library of Congress holds 37. For an annotated list of Hebrew incunabula in the Library of Congress, see http://www.loc.gov/rr/amed/pdf/HebrewIncunabula.pdf 2 There is a rich and fast-growing bibliography on all aspects of the Hebrew book in the sixteenth century. For a comprehensive list on the subject, see Marvin J. Heller, The Sixteenth Century Hebrew Book (Leiden: Brill, 2004), Vol. II, pp. 987-997. One important addition to the growing bibliography is the recently-published collection of essays in The Hebrew Book in Early Modern Italy, eds. R. Hacker and Adam Shear (Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2011).

3 The Library subsequently purchased two additional Deinard collections in 1916 and 1920. For a history of the Hebraic Section, see: Schapiro, “The Hebrew Collections at the Library of Congress,” Journal of the American Oriental Society 36 (1916),” pp. 355-359; the overview by Michael W. Grunberger in J. Karp, From the Ends of the Earth: Judaic Treasures of the Library of Congress (Washington D.C.: The Library of Congress, 1991), pp. xv-xvi; and Myron M. Weinstein, “The First Deinard Collection of the Library of Congress,” Judaica Librarianship 12 (2006), pp. 31-49. An online account is also available at: http://www.loc.gov/rr/amed/hs/hscoll.html. 4 See Heller, The Sixteenth Century Hebrew Book, p. xiii (Introduction). 5 See Freiman, A Gazetteer of Hebrew Printing (New York: New York Public Library, 1946). iii - the First Rabbinic Bible (, 1517).6 - 22 of the 44 tractates of the precious first edition of the Babylonian Talmud, printed by Daniel Bomberg in Venice, 1520-1523. This includes a copy of Pesahim, the first treatise Bomberg printed.7 - the first Talmud (Venice, 1522-1523). - the first Karaite book (Venice, 1528-1529).8 - the first true polyglot volume from the Bible: Psalterium Hebraeum, Graecum, Arabicum, et Chaldaeum (, 1516). - the first printed commentary on the : Zevah Pesah (, 1505). - the of the (, 1558-1560). - the editio princeps (in fact, two copies) of the path-breaking Me’or Eynaim by Azariah de Rossi (Mantua, 1573/1574). - the editio princeps of Iggeret Bacale Hayyim (Mantua, 1557). - the editio princeps of Sefer Mordecai as a separate work (Riva di Trento, 1558). - the editio princeps of several collections of rabbinic , including: Maimonides (Constantinople, 1514); Asher ben Yehiel (Constantinople, 1517); Israel ben Pethahiah Isserlein (Venice, 1519). The Library also holds a copy of the first printed novellae by Nahmanides (Venice, 1523).

Other important firsts in the Library’s collections include:

- the first Hebrew book to boast a title-page: Sefer ha-Rokeah (Fano, 1505).9 - the first Hebrew book with a true index: the responsa of Nissim ben Reuben Gerondi (, 1545- 1546).10 - the first book printed in North : Sefer Abudarham (Fez, 1517). - the first book printed in the : Lekah Tov (, 1577). - the first book with a Hebrew map (more or less!) of the New World: Iggeret Orhot Olam (Venice, 1586).

The above items might well be considered the pearls of any sixteenth-century collection. But even without a claim to “firsts,” there are other items in the collection eminently worthy of mention, amongst them: a copy of Lehem Yehuda (Sabbioneta, 1554), with the author’s moving eye-witness account of the burning of Hebrew books in Italy in 1553;11 the rhymed tales of Mashal ha-Kadmoni with their charming woodcut illustrations (Venice, ca. 1547); and 5 books printed by Doña Reyna in the press she established first in Belvedere, her princely home in Ortoköy just outside Constantinople, and subsequently in Kuru-Chesme.12 We could also mention a number of important early imprints from Constantinople, amongst them a complete early edition of Halakhot Rav Alfas (1509); Maimonides’ Sefer ha-Mitsvot (1510?); and the Tehilim whose first half was published in

6 Both the First Rabbinic Bible, as well as the Iggeret Bacale Hayyim listed somewhat below that, are examples of important books that entered the Library of Congress during the past ten years and not via the Deinard Collections. 7 The different editions of the Bomberg Talmud in the Library’s holdings were identified with the help of the microfiche copies of Bomberg’s four editions (Leiden: IDC Publishers, 1997). 8 This deserves a caveat; the Library’s copy is, in fact, only a fragment, and in poor condition. 9 Heller, The Sixteenth Century Hebrew Book, p. 11. 10 As pointed out by Bernard Dov Cooperman, “Organizing Knowledge for the Jewish Market: An Editor/Printer in Sixteenth- Century Rome,” in Perspectives on the Hebrew Book: The Myron M. Weinstein Memorial Lectures at the Library of Congress, ed. Peggy K. Pearlstein (Washington D.C.: the Library of Congress, 2012), pp. 79-129.

11 Amongst the Hebrew books burned in Venice’s Piazza San Marco on the , October 21, 1553, was his own Lehem Yehuda, no. 121 in Avraham M. Habermann, Ha-Madpis Kornelio Adelkind u-veno Daniel (Jerusalem, Reuven Mass, 1980). 12 Of the 15 titles known from this press and listed by Avraham Yacari in Ha-Defus ha-cIvri be-Kushta, (Jerusalem: Magnes, 1967), the Library holds: Sefer Gal shel Egozim (no. 228) and Torat Moshe (no. 232) from Belvedere; and Iggeret Shemuel (no. 234), (no. 236), and Vol. 4 of the responsa of Joseph ibn Lev (no. 237) from Kuru-Chesme. A 16th title, the treatise Pesahim, is claimed by Bernhard Freidberg in ha-defus ha-cIvri be-medinot Italiah, Aspamiah-Portugaliah, Turgamah ve-artsot ha- kedem (: M. Jacobowitz, 1934), but no trace of this book has been found and Yacari, p. 33, note 21, questions whether it was ever printed. iv Constantinople, 1512, and the second half in Salonika, 1515. And perhaps most significant of all: the extremely important fragments from a projected edition of the Babylonian Talmud in Sabbioneta, 1554; about which very little is known – and much conjectured.13

Together with its strengths, the Finding Aid also points out a number of significant gaps in the Library’s collections; and certain titles, such as the Second Rabbinic Bible or Ibn Verga’s Shevet Yehuda, or imprints from the few cities not represented in our collections, remain desiderata. Chief amongst these are:

- the printed in Constantinople, 1505; the second book printed there (the first being Arbacah Turim, printed by the Nahmias brothers in 1493).14 - any of the early imprints from by the important printer Gershom ben ha-, especially the magnificent Bible printed between 1514-1518, or the Haggadah shel Pesah, which he printed in 1526. - any of the books printed at the first Hebrew press in Cracow, that of the brothers , Asher and Elyakim Halicz. Of particular note is Asher Anshel’s Mirkevet ha-Mishneh (Cracow, 1534): the first book printed in .15 - the only two sixteenth-century Hebrew books known to have been printed in : Refu’ot ha-Talmud (1556) and Pitron Halomot (1557). - the earliest printed in pamphlet form: Lu’ah (Constantinople, 1510). - Midrash Rabbah (Constantinople, 1512), which despite its many inaccuracies remains an important landmark in the history of the text.

And last, but not least, the Finding Aid points out books with two or more copies in the Library’s collections16 as well as sets of books lacking in specific volumes. So, for example, we can easily see from the Finding Aid that the Library of Congress lacks the first volume in the 4-volume set of responsa by Joseph ben Lev; or, to cite another example, Part One of Bomberg’s edition of Halakhot Rav Alfas (Venice, 1521-1522) - a fact not immediately apparent from the books themselves since the binding simply, and somewhat misleadingly, reads: “Volume One” and “Volume Two.” * * *

The Collection as a Testament to History These sixteenth-century Hebrew books are a priceless possession. Yet above and beyond the intrinsic value of the books themselves, they are valuable as evidence of two central features in the history of early modern . The first, is that throughout this time period, the Jews were very much a “People of the Book,” just as they have so often been described. This we see not only in the fact that in a number of lands – , the , the Ottoman Empire - Hebrew books were in fact the first books to be printed, but also in the physical condition of the books today, where pages that have been defaced by either censorship or Time have been lovingly re-written in.

13 This printing is of special interest due to its relation to the traumatic events of 1553, and the burning of the Talmud by Papal decree in cities across Italy. On the subject of the projected Sabbioneta edition see Haim Rabbinovicz, Ma’amar cal hadpasat ha- Talmud, ed. A. Habermann (Jerusalem: Mossad ha-Rav Kuk, 1951), pp. 55-59; and Marvin J. Heller, Printing the Talmud: A History of the Earliest Printed Editions of the Talmud (: Im ha-Sefer, 1992), pp.193-200. 14 The dating of the Constantinople Arbacah Turim, long in dispute, was definitively settled by A. K. Offenberg in an article from 1969; his findings were later republished in A Choice of Corals (Nieuwkoop: De Graaf, 1992), pp.102-132. Offenberg’s findings are accepted by Heller, The Sixteenth Century Hebrew Book, p. xlv (Introduction); and, more recently, by Joseph R. Hacker in his very thorough study of “Hebrew Authors, Printers, and Readers in the Sixteenth-Century Ottoman Empire,” in Perspectives on the Hebrew Book: The Myron M. Weinstein Memorial Lectures at the Library of Congress, ed. Peggy K. Pearlstein (Washington D.C.: the Library of Congress, 2012), pp. 17-63. 15 Avraham M. Habermann, “Ha-Madpisim bene Halits,” Perakim be-toldot ha-madpisim ha-cIvri’im, (Jerusalem, Reuven Mass, 1978) pp. 131-147. 16 There are 19 titles with two or more copies, amongst them an Arbacah Turim from Fano, 1516; a Me’or Eynayim from Mantua, 1573/1574; and a Midrash from , 1595 in which the second, uncatalogued copy is, in fact, in much better condition than the catalogued one. v

The second critical feature for which these books are a testament is the fact that, for many Jews, the sixteenth century was a time of upheaval and change. We see this, for example, in the marginalia of so many of these books, where readers’ comments and annotations are written in a number of different languages in a single volume – Italian, Russian, Yiddish, Polish - like so many sign posts along the highways of . We also see it in the printing history of the books themselves. Hebrew colophons and title-pages are studded with names like Venice and Sabbioneta, Fez and Constantinople, Lublin and Cracow – and cities which still loom large in Jewish history, or which have long since faded away. Decades after the expulsions from Spain and Portugal many Jews were still in search of a home, and this search left its mark on the Hebrew book. The briefest reference to a name or a place can be eloquent of an entire trajectory of Jewish history, of a whole series of events and processes for which the title-page is the merest short-hand.

Take the title-page below, for example. It comes from Maimonides’s Moreh Nevukhim (“Guide for the Perplexed”) and it was printed in 1553 in Sabbioneta, a little town in northern Italy.

Title-page from Maimonides’ Moreh Nevukhim. Printed by Cornelius Adelkind at the press of Tobias Foa, Sabbioneta, 1553

This was the fourth book printed at the small Hebrew press founded by Tobias Foa in Sabbioneta – and the first one to bear the name of Cornelius Adelkind, a printer long associated with the Hebrew presses in Venice. Adelkind’s name appears on a long list of Hebrew books produced in Venice, 112 books to be exact, as far back as 1519.17 That Adelkind’s name should suddenly appear, in 1553, on an imprint from Sabbioneta is a sign of the times. For in 1553, the Hebrew presses in Venice were closed, by Papal decree, and the Talmud and other Hebrew books publicly burned in cities across Italy: Venice, Rome, , , . Only in Sabbioneta and in were Hebrew presses allowed to operate, an anomaly due to the complicated relations between the individual rulers of these city-states and the . Sabbioneta, as it so happened, and as the title-page so clearly

printed by (תשובות שאלות לר״י קולון) Adelkind’s name first appears in the colophon of the responsa of Joseph ben Solomon Colon 17 Daniel Bomberg in Venice, 1519. See Habermann, Ha-Madpis Kornelio Adelkind (above, note 11), p. 10. vi proclaims, was ruled by Duke Gonzaga – and under his rule the Hebrew press was allowed to remain open.18

No less evocative of the stirring events that shaped Jewish life in the sixteenth century is this title-page from the opposite side of the Jewish world, plain and unornamented though it is. It comes from Gal shel Egozim, a book of sermons by Menahem ben Egozi, a active in sixteenth-century Constantinople:19

Sefer Gal shel Egozim, by Menahem ben Moses Egozi. Printed by Joseph ben Isaac Ashkeloni at the press of Reyna Nasi, Belvedere ca. 1593-1595

The few lines of text on this title page are worth translating, for they relate that the book was printed

Reyna Nasi, may she be blessed (מ׳[ רת]) woman of valor, Doña ,(הגברת המעטירה) in the home of the illustrious lady above women in tents (cf. 5:24), widow of the prince and magnate in Israel, the lord Duke Don Joseph Nasi and in her house here, in Bel Vidir, which is near Constantinople, the great city, and under the rule of our lord the king, the great and powerful Sultan Murad, may his glory be exalted.]20

Compressed in these lines are several hundred years of Jewish history and one of its most fascinating stories. The saga of the Nasi family, which began in Spain, contains all the elements of some impossible drama: the forced conversion to of a rich and influential Jewish family; a great mercantile empire that traded with kings; the long search for a safe haven in which to return to ; the journey to the Ottoman Empire under the auspices of a welcoming Sultan; and the palace of Belvedere, near Constantinople, where members of the Nasi family proceeded to cultivate Jewish learning and set up a printing press of their own.21 All this and more from a few lines on a title-page - and the Library’s collections are rich in such moving testaments to history. * * *

18 For a history of the events of 1553 and their aftermath, see Avraham Yacari, “Serifat ha-Talmud be-Italia,” Mehkare Sefer (Jerusalem, 1958), pp. 198-234. 19 Egozi’s book is #228 in Yacari in Ha-Defus ha-cIvri be-Kushta. 20 The last line, faded in the Library’s copy (but perhaps salvageable through Conservation treatment?), is based on the image supplied by Yacari, ibid. p. 141. Our translation here does not differ significantly from that given in Heller, The Sixteenth Century Hebrew Book, p. 809 – but it is worth noting that the text in fact reads “her house” and not “his house,” as Heller’s translation has it. 21 For a history of the Nasi family, see the classic studies by Cecil Roth: The House of Nasi: Doña Gracia (Philadelphia: Jewish Publication Society, 1948) and The House of Nasi: the Duke of Naxos (Philadelphia: Jewish Publication Society of America, 1970). vii

The Finding Aid This Finding Aid, though drawn up only over the last six months, has in fact been many, many years in the making. As noted earlier, most of these sixteenth-century Hebrew books came to the Library via the bookseller and bibliophile Ephraim Deinard, thanks to the generous donations of Jacob H. Schiff and later purchases of the Library in 1916 and 1920. Most of these books were stripped of their original binding and then re-bound in the red buckram that is the hallmark of the Hebraic Section today; the exceptions, rather few and far between, are noted in the Finding Aid. The title of each book, and the place and date of printing (when known), were then stamped on the red binding in . To date, about two thirds of these books have been catalogued online, and the information given there, though almost always accurate, is not always complete. The Finding Aid fills in the missing information in almost every case. So, for example, the online record for Amude Golah (BM520.8 I732 1510 Hebr Cage), by Isaac ben Joseph of Corbeil, correctly notes that it was printed in Constantinople in 1510 but does not give the name of the printer; this, the Finding Aid supplies. Similarly, the online record notes that the Library’s copy is incomplete; the Finding Aid indicates where exactly the text begins and where it breaks off. Others books in the collection, however, remained uncatalogued or even unidentified (or only partly identified) due to missing title-pages and/or colophons, and due to the fact that the pages of these early printed books do not always feature running titles or printed pagination. And here, the computer age has provided bibliographic tools of which our predecessors could scarcely have dreamed. Online sites with digitalized images and cumulative data- bases allow us to answer, with the click of a mouse, almost any lingering question over the imprint of a given book, or verify issues of textual integrity when the books reach us in fragmented form. Most useful of all, and even surpassing the hefty tomes that formed the cornerstones of Hebrew bibliography in earlier years, has been the online Bibliography of the Hebrew Book: 1470-1960 (http://www.hebrew-bibliography.com). Two invaluable online resources providing page-by-page scans of the individual books are http://www.Hebrewbooks.org; and the Digitized Book Repository at the National Library of Israel: http://www.jnul.huji.ac.il/heb/digibook.html. All three of these online sites have been instrumental in identifying the holdings in the Hebraic Section and completing this Finding Aid.

Surely there has never been a time when the old scholastic simile concerning the “ancients” and the “moderns,” and the battle between them for intellectual primacy, has seemed so apt. As one spirited participant in “Le Querelle,” as the debate was known back in the sixteenth century, framed his response: “If the ancients were giants, then we are dwarfs. But when dwarfs stand on the shoulders of giants – they see farther.”

Today, when we are not only standing on the shoulders of giants but looking into computer screens – this answer seems truer than ever. That this Finding Aid can now be completed is a tribute both to the scholars who came before us and to those who provide this computer age with its marvels of online tools and resources. Our gratitude to them all.
