The largest section of the volume is concerned with the makers and places of Hebrew books, mainly addressing book-makers poorly remembered or controversial and print-shops that issued a small number of books in a brief period of time. The section on varia addresses aspects of the book trade such as small books, incomplete books published as a prospectus, competing simultaneous editions, and errors and variations in books. Two smaller sections deal with book arts such as incunabula frames and pressmarks; variations between medieval and current Sephardic Haggadot.The Brill Reference Library of Judaism37.Printing, HebrewHistoryHebrew imprintsHistoryPrinting, HebrewHistory.Hebrew imprintsHistory.686.2/1924Heller Marvin J488485MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910786020803321Further studies in the making of the early Hebrew book3721817UNINA
