The First Hebrew Bible Printed in Berlin. Although Jablonski employed mostly Jews in his printing plant, Jews themselves were not permitted a license to print in Berlin. 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 Masoretic accents.
