Proops Brothers, Amsterdam: 1768.
A most attractive and elaborately gilt-tooled 18th-century binding. A gift from Rabbi and Madame Saul Halevi of the Hague to a young man in Copenhagen.
Rabbi Saul Halevi (1712-85), Rabbi of the Aschkenazic congregation of the Hague, was the son-in-law of Chief Rabbi Aryeh Leib of Amsterdam, who in turn, was the son-in-law of the famed “Chacham Tzvi”, R. Tzvi Hirsch Aschkenazi, first Chief Rabbi of the Aschkenazi community of Amsterdam. During Chief Rabbi Saul’s tenure, and in no small measure due to his support, The Hague blossomed as a major center of Hebrew printing. Indeed Rabbi Saul’s wife Dinah, was herself publicly celebrated for her own level of scholarship. See M.H. Gans, Memorbook p. 243.
