Venice: Daniel Bomberg 1545
The editor, R. Jochanan Treves (1490? -1557?), was the author of Kimcha de-Avishuna, a commentary to the prayer book according to the Roman rite. A tireless proofreader at the press of Daniel Bomberg, Treves labored to establish accurate readings, which thus gave rise to the fame of this celebrated Venetian printing establishment. See EJ, Vol. XV, col. 1378.
