Details:
This extremely rare post-incunabula work, Luach Ha-Binaynim, was printed in Basel in 1525 by the renowned Sebastian Münster, a scholar, cartographer, and printer. Münster was one of the leading figures in the early development of Hebrew printing in the 16th century, and this text is a rare example of his work.
Historical Context:
Sebastian Münster was a key figure in the Renaissance period of Jewish printing, particularly known for his contributions to Hebrew texts, maps, and geography.
This work was printed after the Incunabula period (the era of early printed books) but remains a key post-incunabula text.
Basel was a hub for Hebrew printing in the early 16th century, and Münster was one of the key printers in that region. His printing house was responsible for producing a significant number of important Jewish texts during that time.
Rarity and Collectibility:
This work is considered extremely rare in the history of Hebrew printing. making it highly valuable for collectors, historians, and bibliophiles.
The absence of the binding may reflect its original usage or condition over time, but it does not detract from its historical significance as one of the earliest works produced by Sebastian Münster in the Hebrew printing tradition.
In summary, Luach Ha-Binaynim is a highly significant and rare post-incunabula work, offering a fascinating look at the intersection of Hebrew scholarship and Renaissance-era printing. This 1525 Basel edition is an exceptional collector's piece, ideal for those interested in early Hebrew printing, Renaissance-era Jewish works, and the history of Jewish books.
