Abstract
History and vicissitudes of the famous Jewish family of printers, descending from Moseh Spira's, and moved to Italy towards the end of the century XIV. To them we owe the first partial editions of the Bible (Psalter and Torah), and the first complete (Hebrew Bible Soncino). Two important specimens (one with nice miniatures) of the third edition of this Bible, work by Gershom Soncino (Brescia 1494), are kept in the civic Biblioteca Queriniana. This is the best complete edition of the Bible Soncino; its reduced size, in eighth, ensured a wide diffusion. This ‘pocket’ Bible was adopted by Luther for his translation of the AT into German (1522-34), conducted by texts written in the original languages.
