149–53, 163. 71 By that time they had issued six books, R. Simeon ben Samuel’s Adam Sikhli, Begidat ha-Zman, attributed to Mattathias; Tappuhei Zahav or Yesod Shirim, also known as Midrash ha-Ne’lam to the Zohar Hadash on the Book of Ruth; Malah ha-Arez De’ah; Malchial Hezekiah ben Abraham’s Malchial; and Shir ha-Yihud with the commentary of Yom Tov Lipmann Muelhausen. Another short-lived press existed in Thannhausen, Bavaria, where a zultot (supplementary festival prayers) and mahzor were printed in the last decade of the sixteenth century.

The Halicz press soon closed, although Johannes continued to publish, issuing Latin and Polish works for a nonJewish market, and Paul, now a missionary, printed a Yiddish New Testament (Cracow, 1540–41). In about 1550, Andreas Halicz returned to Judaism in Constantinople. ”75 Almost three decades passed before another Hebrew press opened in Cracow. In 1569, Isaac ben Aaron of Prostitz received permission to operate a Hebrew press in that city. Prostitz, born in Prossnitz, Moravia, was sent by his father at an early age to Italy to learn the printing trade.

The books purchased were valued at 1,600 gold gulden, and consisted of 800 mahzorim, 800 selihot, 500 Turim, 400 yozrot, 300 minhagim, 200 large-format zemirot, and 300 small-format zemirot. It is possible that some of these books had been printed elsewhere and were part of the Halicz’s stock. A two hundred marks fine was imposed for non-adherence, and the Halicz’s were permitted to recover their debts on the basis of testimony of non-Jews in the city’s courts. All of this notwithstanding, Jews continued to purchase Hebrew titles printed elsewhere and destroyed those books they were compelled to buy from the Halicz press.
