Excerpt from The Makers of Hebrew Books in Italy: Being Chapters in the History of the Hebrew Printing PressIn preparing the work I had the use of the splendid library of Dr. Julius H. Greenstone, rich in examples of nearly every Hebrew press in the world and containing many incunabula and other rarities. Many of the illustrations in this book are made from his collection.My manuscript was revised by my wife, and many of her valuable suggestions have found a place in these pages.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
