From Manuscript to Print and Back Again
Original language description
The paper deals with the mutual attitudes of hand-written and printed media in the Jewish culture in the period until ca. 1630. It consists of two case studies, both of which are based on the original research in the Bodleian Library, Oxford. In the firs case study, the journey from manuscript to print is traced on the example of the Eliezer ben Nathan's halakhic work Even ha-ezer, printed in Prague in 1610. Based on various paratexs, the roles of different actors are pinpointed: a scholar who found the manuscript in a library, a sponsor, who financed the printing, the editor who adjusted the text and the rabbis who encouraged the middle-class householders to buy the book and even to subscribe it. The second part of the paper follows the opposite direction - how did the manuscript copies of a printed edition of a Hebrew astronomical text came to bešing and for whow they were intended? The paper argues that the handwritten and printed media were closely connected and often overlapped in the 16th century Jewish book culture.
