Description

This text was prepared by William Gross:

This volume is one of many Hebrew Bibles printed in Italy during the course of the 18th century. But this printing has a frontispiece depicting Jacob's dream in a delicate etching showing the sleeping Jacob as angels ascend and descend on the ladder. This is not a normal subject for such frontispieces.
Raphael Chaim Meitalia re-established Hebrew printing in Mantua in the 18th century.
