Hebrew printing in Aleppo began in 1865 when Abraham Sasson and his sons set up a printing house, one of the sons having learned the craft in Leghorn. In 1887 Isaiah Dayyan established another printing press with the help of H.P. Kohen from Jerusalem. Two years later they had to cease operation, not being able to obtain a government license. The license was obtained in 1896 and printing resumed and continued until World War I. From 1910 to 1933 Ezra Hayyim Jouegati of Damascus set up a press, having learned the craft with Eliezer Ben-Yehuda in Jerusalem. Another printing press was founded by Ezra Bijo in 1924 and continued until 1925. Altogether, approximately 70 books were printed in Aleppo, mostly works by local scholars, ancient manuscripts found locally, and prayer books of the local rite.

 

Hebrew Description

... (שהדפיס... ר' יש"ר [יוסף שלמה רופא דילמדיגו בספרו [תעלמות חכמה עם ספר] מצרף לחכמה [לר' אליהו דילמדיגו]... והגם שנדפסו עוד עם ס' לקוטי הש"ס, [ליוורנו] ש' תק"ן מ"מ אינם נמצאים אפילו א[חד]) לכן השתדלתי להדפיסם בהגהה... מטעיו' וקצת הערות ורמזים... אני... שאול בלא"א... ר' אברהם דיין נר"ו.

דף [א,ב]-ג: הקדמת המגיה, ר' שאול הנז'. דף מח: "תקון עון חלול ד' ועון הקרי". בראש העמוד האחרון: "תקון בשנת העבור". ליקוט מספרים. כולל גם: "מעשה... באשה אחת אלמנה שנכנס רוח א' בה". מ"שבחי האר"י" נשמטו כאן (בדף כז; לח, ב) שני קטעים.
