Dutch-Jewish Binding with Coat of Arms of de Pinto Family An interesting amalgam of two independent printed works: A Tikun for the Night of Hoshana Rabbah married to the Book of Deuteronomy. The logic is: On f.9v. of the Tikun we find the instruction: "We read from the Chumashim the entire Book of Devarim." Conveniently, the binder here has provided exactly that i.e. Sepher Devarim, at the conclusion of which, our volume continues with the Tikun on f.10. Provenance: Pinto Family - The de Pintos were a Marrano family who fled from Antwerp to Rotterdam in 1646. (Around the same time, the Suassos and other Marrano families relocated from Antwerp to the Netherlands.) This was the foundation of the Rotterdam Jewish community. Not long after, the de Pintos moved once again to Amsterdam where their commercial pursuits earned them enormous wealth. In 1717 David de Pinto acquired a country house at Tulpenberg which reputedly had the most beautiful gardens in all of Holland. In July 1749 His Highness Prince William V was de Pinto's overnight guest at Tulpenberg. A family tree of the Pinto Family drawn in 1758 by A. Santcroos (who fashioned many a Hebrew title page, including our own here) appears in Gans, Memorbook (1977) pp. 111
