In 1516, he printed two editions of the Torah, Chamesh Megilos and Haftaros, one with a translation and commentary, the other without additions. Later he printed the Bible, "Mikra'ot Gedolot", with a translation and commentaries by the Rishonim and comments of the Mesorah. The printing of the fourth and final volume of this edition, the copy before us, ended in December 1517. Seforim printed by Bomberg's printing house are of great historical importance.
