Description
This text was prepared by William Gross:
The author of "Mafteaḥ ha-Yam" (novellז to the Pentateuch; Offenbach, 1788) calls himself Jacob Meןr ben Wolf Coblenz. On the title page is an Illustration which hints at name of book, but is listed by Yaari as a printers mark.
After a hiatus of a few decades, Hebrew printing resumed in Offenbach in 1767, when the Tzvi Hirsch Segal Spitz of Pressburg opened a printing-house. His press continued to function after his death in 1809 under his son, Abraham Spitz, and remained active until 1832.
