The second of four volumes of the second Bomberg edition of the Rabbinic Bible (Mikraot Gedolot), comprising Joshua through Kings. Bomberg's second Rabbinic Bible is of the greatest critical importance for containing the first printing of the "Massorah," the authorized punctuated reading of the text. Daniel Bomberg, founder of the Bomberg Press, a Christian born in Antwerp, found a ready audience among the Jews of Italy, whose numbers had been swelled by exiles from Spain and Portugal, and the Bomberg Press eventually produced some 230 Hebrew books, his innovations in Hebrew typography setting the standard for later printers.
