First Page of the Hebrew Bible - Shunetzino Press, Italy, 2018 Description: This is the first page of the Hebrew Bible, a facsimile of the first edition printed by Joshua Solomon Soncino in 1488. The page was printed using the original press machine of the Soncino Press that printed the original Bible over 500 years ago. The facsimile was produced as part of a limited, high-quality project commemorating the first Hebrew Bible printed in the world. The page includes the famous inscription: ”Ki MiTzion Taitza Torah, U'D'var Hashem Mi'Yerushalayim” (”For out of Zion shall go forth the Torah, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem”), a significant phrase associated with the Soncino Press legacy. Additionally, on the reverse side of the page, there is a stamp of the Soncino Printing Museum. The page is bound in an elegant, luxurious leather cover with an intricate design. The cover features a crown of Torah motif surrounded by vegetation, with the inscription ”First Edition Tanakh” at the center, and below it, the publisher’s details: ”Soncino Press, Italy, Year 1488”, and ”Issued by the Original Printing Press in the 'Golden Seed' Journey, Italy, 2018”. Size: 42 x 30 cm Condition: Very Good Condition: The page is in excellent condition, with a minor repair (a tear that was carefully glued) but no loss of text or significant damage.
