This article presents the history of a printing press that operated at several places near Berlin during the first half of the eighteenth century, culminating in the epoch-making reprinting of Maimonides’ Guide of the Perplexed in 1742. The press was established in Dessau in 1694 by the court Jew Moses Wulff (1661–1729), and was run by several printers, notably the convert Israel b. Abraham (fl. 1715–1752). Using the trajectory of the Wulff press as a case study, I examine the relations between scholars, patrons of learning (especially court Jews), printers, and book publishing. The inquiry will highlight the considerable role that court Jews played in shaping the Jewish bookshelf, notably by choosing which books (reprints and original) would be funded. Surprisingly perhaps, although court Jews were in continuous contact with the environing culture, they did not usually favor the printing of non-traditional Jewish works that would favor a rapprochement.

宫廷犹太人、印刷商、书籍出版和德国土地上哈斯卡拉的开始：作为案例研究的伍尔夫印刷机的生活史

本文介绍了 18 世纪上半叶在柏林附近的几个地方运营的印刷机的历史，最终于 1742 年划时代地重印了迈蒙尼德的《困惑指南》。该印刷机于 1694 年在德绍成立由宫廷犹太人摩西武尔夫 (1661–1729) 出版，由几家印刷商经营，尤其是皈依者以色列 b. 亚伯拉罕 (fl. 1715–1752)。使用伍尔夫出版社的发展轨迹作为案例研究，我考察了学者、学术赞助人（尤其是宫廷犹太人）、印刷商和图书出版之间的关系。调查将突出宫廷犹太人在塑造犹太书架方面发挥的重要作用，特别是通过选择资助哪些书籍（重印版和原版）。也许令人惊讶的是，
