Proops
Description
Samuel Proops founded his press in 1704. At first, he printed mainly prayer books for Sephardic and Ashkenazic rites. Proops was the first to bring out a sales catalog of Hebrew books. His press became the most important printing house in 18th century Amsterdam, and remained in the family until 1849. Their printer’s device shows hands held in the position for the priestly blessing, indicating the family’s priestly lineage.
