Daniel Bomberg

1483–1549

Daniel Bomberg (also known as Daniel van Bomberghen) was a printer active in Venice, Italy, between 1511 and 1538. A Christian born in Antwerp, Belgium, he produced the first printed editions of both the Babylonian Talmud and the Jerusalem Talmud and hundreds of other Hebrew books in his printing shop in Venice, which employed a number of Jewish scholars. The conventions he established for printing the Talmud are still in use today.
