This essay illustrates the figure of Gershom ben Moseh Soncino, the greatest Jewish printer of all time, which shines through his biography. The Brescia period (1491-97) of its typographical activity stands between the beginnings in Soncino (1488-90) and the failed attempt to settle in Venice (1498-1502). In Brescia (1491-95) he published eight editions of biblical and secular texts, including the famous entire edition of the Hebrew Bible and the "Fable of the ancients" (Meshal ha-qadmoni); in Barco of Orzinuovi (1496-97) he printed three works, among which the Selichot.

Abstract
This essay illustrates the figure of Gershom ben Moseh Soncino, the greatest Jewish printer of all time, which shines through his biography. The Brescia period (1491-97) of its typographical activity stands between the beginnings in Soncino (1488-90) and the failed attempt to settle in Venice (1498-1502). In Brescia (1491-95) he published eight editions of biblical and secular texts, including the famous entire edition of the Hebrew Bible and the "Fable of the ancients" (Meshal ha-qadmoni); in Barco of Orzinuovi (1496-97) he printed three works, among which the Selichot.
