Two exceptionally rare Hebrew works printed in Leuven , capital of the Province of Flemish-Brabant, Belgium. The first work entirely unknown to Vinograd; the second work, printed a year later, Vinograd records as being the first and only Hebrew book printed in Leuven. Nicolaus Clenardus (Cleynaerts or Clenard) was a Flemish Christian Hebraist who lived c. 1495-1542. He was a professor at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, the oldest Catholic university still in existence, founded in 1425.
