 | | Daniel Bomberg was born in Antwerp and moved to Venice early in the sixteenth century. |
 | | In his poem, Levita praises Bomberg, acknowledging that Bomberg was not born in Israel, but in the house of the Gentiles, and describes Bomberg as "uncircumcised in his flesh, but not in his heart, he dedicated himself to the study of the Torah, with all his desire and all his ability". |
 | | The return of Daniel Bomberg from Antwerp in 1538 was honoured in an unusual way: Levita entitled a printing of the book of Daniel by the Bomberg Press, "Daniel Returns". |
