Jewish printed books Sefer Pa'amon ve-Rimon by Shmuel Gallico, Amsterdam, 1708
This text was prepared by William Gross:
Italian Talmudist and cabalist; lived in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. He was a pupil of Moses Cordovero and the teacher of Menahem Azariah di Fano. Gallico was the compiler of "'Asis Rimmonim," consisting of extracts from Cordovero's "Pardes Rimmonim," with notes by Mordecai Dato (Venice, 1601). This work was afterward revised by Fano, who added a commentary entitled "Pelaḥ ha-Rimmon," and by Mordecai b. Jacob, whose commentary is entitled "Pa'amon we-Rimmon." (Amsterdam, 1708)
Moses ben Isaac Dias was involved in the book selling trade at the end of the 17th century, as evidenced by his admission to the Amsterdam Guild of Booksellers, Printers and Bookbinders in 1692. In 1706, he set up his own press that operated until c.1718. However, he had printed earlier, being responsible for at least one work in Portuguese being released in Amsterdam (bearing an inscription from 1690).
