This is an interesting book from my antique Hebrew books collection, a book of homilies on several laws of Shabbos (the Sabbath day), compiled from halachic (Jewish legal) authorities and works of Kabbalah, including lighting of the Shabbos candles and the idea of adding time onto Shabbos, written by Rabbi Bezalel ben Solomon Darshan (17th century), the first rabbi of Kobryn, Belarus, Russia.
Rabbi Bezalel was a preacher and author. He was active in Slutsk (Minsk region) , Boskowitz (Moravia) , and Przemysl.
Just as important as the author, is the printer, because this is a very early book printed in Dyhrenfurth by Rabbi Shabbesai Bass the son of Joseph (1641-1718). He was born in Kalisz, and was said to be the founder of Jewish bibliography, and was the author of the Siftei Chachamim supercommentary on Rashi’s commentary on the Torah.
After the death of his parents, who were victims of the persecutions at Kalisz in 1655, Bass went to Prague. He learned to sing and was appointed bass singer in the Altneuschule synagogue of Prague, being called, from his position, “Bass,” or “Bassista,” or “Meshorer.” (In my book he is named as Shabasai Meshorer). Then he went to Amsterdam and learned printing.
He settled at Dyhrenfurth, a small town near Breslau. Rabbi Bass turned the small band of printers, typesetters, and workmen who had followed him to Dyhernfurth, for whose needs he cared, into a Jewish community, acquiring a cemetery in 1689, when his first book was printed.
The books that followed during the next year or so were either works of Polish scholars or liturgical collections intended for the use of Polish Jews. Being issued in a correct, neat, and pleasing form, they easily found buyers, especially at the fairs of Breslau, where Bass himself sold his books. He died July 21, 1718, at Krotoschin.
