Joseph, a celebrated rabbi and printer at Amsterdam, who printed a great number of Bibles in Hebrew, more correct than any that had previously been edited. He was a learned Hebraist as well as a skilful typographer, although it is said that there are occasional errors in the points, especially in the edition of 1661, many of which, however, were corrected in that of 1667. He also printed many Bibles in the corrupted Hebrew spoken by the Jews of Spain, Germany, Poland, and England. He died in 1700.
