The letters and their fonts, the fonts of the Prague Press are dated to 1510-1515 [see for example, Tefilot, Zemirot VePiyyutim, Prage 1515] were apparently printed at the renowned printing press of Rabbi Chaim Shachor the renowned printer of Prague; however, a copy of this edition is bibliographically unknown and it is the only one in the world. Appearing in the center of the sheets is a watermark from Prague 1510-1515 shaped like a trumpet.
Post-incunabula – early Hebrew printing – background:
Hebrew printing started operating in 1475 approx. twnety years after the invention of the printing press. The Hebrew books that were printed at first were mainly practical and in-deamnd books, which were used often such as Siddurim, Chumashim and Halacha books. As a result of their frequent use and the time that had elapsed, the books became worn. Therefore, it is rare to find copies of post-incunabula Hebrew books and their price is accordingly.
