Jablonski’s introduction features 4 pages of noted cantillation of the Pentateuch (transliterated). This was supplied by David de Pinna, a Parnas of the Portuguese Synagogue in Amsterdam and represents the tradition of that community based on the “Oriental” style of intoning the Massoretic accents. Although Jablonski employed mostly Jews in his printing plant, Jews were not permitted a license to print in Berlin
