The Prophetess Deborah and the Invention of Printing
Authors
Michael Pollack
Abstract
A colophon in one of the earliest dated imprints in the Hebrew language (1475) extols the mystery and power of the newly invented printing press. Seemingly unnoticed by printing and bibliographical scholars working outside the area of Hebraica, the colophon is translated into English and its poetic composition discussed.
Because Visible Language is the oldest design journal, we support scholars by making PDFs of all back issues available. The full catalog of back issues is now available!
