 Encyclopedia: Daniel Bomberg
Bomberg was one of the first Christian printers of Hebrew books and one of the most influential of all Hebrew printers.
Bomberg was the first to publish Mikraot Gedolot, the Bible with the rabbinic commentaries that served as a model for many future editions.
Although Bomberg's fortunes appear to have declined as a result of competition, his successors, nevertheless, lauded him for his distinctive style.

 Daniel Bomberg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He produced the editio princeps of the Mikraot Gedolot, the Rabbinic Bible, consisting of the Hebrew text plus rabbinical commentaries, between 1516 and 1517, and the first complete Talmud, between 1520 and 1523.
Bomberg found a ready audience among the Jews of Italy, whose numbers had been swelled by exiles from Spain and Portugal.
Bomberg's presses eventually produced some 230 Hebrew books, and his innovations in Hebrew typography set the standard for later printers.

 The Word of God: The Hebrew Bible
At the same time that the 1517 edition with David Kimhi's commentary (shown earlier) was being printed, Bomberg and his assistants were also publishing what was to become one of the most famous of Hebrew printed Bibles.
In 1516-1517, the first edition of Bomberg's Biblia Rabbinica (Mikraot Gedolot) was published with the commentaries of Rashi (1040-1105) and Abraham Ibn Ezra (1092-1167) on the Torah; Rashi, Kimhi, and Gersonides (1288-1344) on the Early Prophets, and Rashi and Eliezer of Mainz (12th century) on the Later Prophets, in addition to the Aramaic translation.
Bomberg printed this work with a Christian audience in mind; he included an approbation by Pope Leo X and prominently featured the name of the editor, a Jewish convert to Christianity.

 Law and Lore: Mishnah, Talmud, and Halakha
Although Joshua Solomon Soncino was the first Italian to print tractates of the Talmud in the 1480s, Bomberg's press was the first to produce a complete edition of the Babylonian Talmud.
In the later volume, printed for independent use, the now-familiar format from the Bomberg Talmud is used: the Mishnah text is surrounded by Maimonides's commentary and by the commentary of Rabbi Samson, one of the Tosafists.
The first printing of the Jerusalem Talmud was also issued by Bomberg in 1523, but this edition did not achieve the same degree of standardization that the Babylonian Talmud did.

 Rashi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The semi-cursive font in which the commentaries are printed is often referred to as "Rashi script." This does not mean that Rashi himself used such a script, only that the printers standardly employ it for commentaries.
Daniel Bomberg, a Christian printer from Venice, introduced "Rashi script" in his publication of Rashi's commentary on the Tanakh in 1517.
Rashi's commentary, which covers almost all of the Babylonian Talmud, has been printed in every version of the Talmud since the first Italian printings.

Daniel Bomberg (1483–1553) found his niche in the history of early printing by becoming the foremost publisher of Hebrew Bibles in the Renaissance.
But Bomberg was the first printer to produce critical editions of the Hebrew Bible for Jews and Christians with the same philological standards that were being applied to the Greek Bible in the Renaissance.
It is this text that became the standard form of the Massoretic text for all subsequent editions.

Daniel Bomberg printed the first Rabbinic Bible in 1516-17; that work was followed in 1524-25 by a second edition prepared by Jacob ben Shayyim and also published by Bomberg.
This edition was based on the oldest dated manuscript of the ben Asher text, the Leningrad Manuscript B19a (A.D. 1008), which Kahle regarded as superior to that used by be Chayyim.
For the New King James Version the text used was the 1967/1977 Stuttgart edition of the Biblia Hebraicia, with frequent comparisons being made with the Bomberg edition of 1524-25.

The volumes, the second edition of the Talmud printed by Daniel Bomberg in Venice between 1526 and 1531, come from the library of the Duke of Saxony.
But like all those which have been in Jewish possession over the years, the sets are incomplete, with only some of the 40 tractates and missing and torn pages, the result of centuries of use and study.
The Bomberg edition is of major importance because it was the first complete printed edition of the Talmud and its pagination has become standard for all editions of the Talmud ever since.

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".
