A: Bologna, Emilia-Romagna, Italy
In Northern Italy, probably Bologna on August 29, 1477 Joseph and Nerija, Hayyim Mordecai and Hezekiah de Venturo issued Tehillim with the commentary of the medieval rabbi David Kimhi. This small Hebrew psalter was the first book of the Hebrew Bible to be printed in Hebrew. It is also considered one of the most beautiful of early Hebrew printed books.
Little of the publishing history of this work is definitely known. Neither the place or date or printers' names are given in the work. While the Incunabula Short Title Catalogue No. ib00525860 states the printers' names as above, the website of the Bodleian Library, Oxford identifies the printer as "The Printer of the Psalms in sixteens." The ISTC states the imprint date as 29 August 1477, while the Bodleian states that the book was "printed before 29 Aug. 1477" or "not after 1490" or it was printed in "Bologna? 1477-80?."
