"Before the Law": Jewish Correctors of Early Printed Books
Original language description
Beginning with some of the earliest printed editions, the process of editing and correcting Hebrew books became - not infrequently - the subject of various notes by Jewish editors and correctors. They appeared in the editions of those Hebrew texts that aspired to higher religious or cultural status; sometimes - especially towards the end of the 16th century - they can also be found in a broader spectrum of editions, often produced by one-time editors. This chapter focuses on the printed production of books in Hebrew script and language, in the period from the dawn of Hebrew printing in the 1460s until the 1620s. Did the processes of editing and correction of Jewish book differ from those of the other books? This study answers the question to the negative, however, it indicates cultural specifics in Jewish makers of the books and their recipients toward printing errors.
