An interesting chapter in the history of the early printed Hebrew book is the study of the role played by Christian hebraists. Beginning sometime in the third quarter of the fifteenth-century, the study of the Hebrew language and especially biblical studies including rabbinic commentators increasingly became the focus of Christian scholars. Their needs for Bibles, classical rabbinic works, grammars, and dicitionaries provided an important non-Jewish market for many printing houses.
