Seller Description
Biblia De Ferrara is an important and rare edition of the Bible, published in 1553 by the Jewish community in Ferrara, Italy. It is a significant milestone in the history of biblical translation, as it was the first complete Bible printed in the Hebrew language. The Ferrara Bible is notable not only for its linguistic achievement but also for its connection to the Jewish Renaissance in Italy, where Jewish scholars and translators worked to make the Hebrew scriptures more accessible to Jews of the time. The translation itself was intended to serve as both a spiritual and intellectual resource for the Jewish community. Its leather-bound form, particularly the 1553 edition, is a rare collector's item and a symbol of Jewish heritage and intellectualism during the Renaissance period. The Biblia De Ferrara remains a pivotal text for scholars of Jewish history, religious studies, and biblical translations.
