When printing decreased rabbinic literature
The author baby bullet has completed writing his book, found a publisher, squeezed until the end of his bank accounts, brought the sheets of his handwriting to press and now he sees himself as handicrafts made. Indeed, what could he do another book and did not do? Indeed, he reads the book name, to design the cover, write down the name at the top of the book and maybe decide to dedicate his work an offering of friendship or memory for those friends, or family, but what are those eyes of the author compared baby bullet labored labored body composition? And furthermore, what are the researcher's eyes Hebrew school and its history and why a man will devote time, effort and attention to such trifles? baby bullet
Tell H"amodim "Jacob Spiegel current (previous pages:" proofs and proofreaders "," writing and copying ") clearly shows what a great importance to the seemingly minor details such Hebrew school history and how they have to teach Jewish culture in recent centuries and the Jewish pattern preceding generations.

Period preceding pattern has been used Matyakihm of manuscripts leave the first page of the volume when it smooth and clean which is written, and the main purpose of this practice was the protection of the book itself is copied. Bibliographic details copier that he wanted to convey to his readers were postponed to the end of the volume, and generally were not even stand on its own.
Most of the surviving manuscripts do not contain baby bullet such detail, and only some final Hkolofonim books inform us the name of the book in which we hold, the name of the author-copier, the time and place of the author, the man for which the book was written or copied, and so on.

And not his own school baby bullet gate and development has changed since the beginning of the pattern. The question whether it is right to publish the name of the author on the book seems to us unfounded, but it was felt in previous generations. Since the content of the printed book is the Torah, philosophy and so forth, maybe nice if the author baby bullet will take in hand the degree of humility, will leave an anonymous name and salary will double from heaven? Indeed, the first had been that the prophets, and sages followed, abstained from signing the deaths baby bullet on the works, and if so why not go well on their way to the late author?
Moreover, even if we say that there is justification to specify the name of the original author of the book, Is This goes for collector and assembler? After all, many rabbinic works are merely compilations and copies of the laws, legends, prayers, sermons and commentaries. And that usually accompany them also explanations and expansions easy, it really correct to call the name of the compiler on the satchel?

Baby schoolchildren know that this work and there was no place to get big ... but its a scroll copying clerk. "
Other collections school those days is the book "Clbo", the author also avoided directly revealing his identity baby bullet remains confidential and is to this day. Humility by this author meant that found who attributed baby bullet his book smart woman, but he was a historian of the seventeenth century Rabbi David Conforti, author of the book reads generations, was reluctant to accept it "because the wisdom of that book does not know a woman, but a great wise man Informed multi significant. "Here's where the balance humility lead author baby bullet of" dog "...
On the other hand, over the generations was claimed varied because of the identity of the author. Here are some of them: the only way we'll know if the author decent and proper person; Only thus will we know if it is an authority; Just so we know how to treat his errors; Only in this way will avoid fakes maliciously; Only in this way will prevent any changes that may be made by others. And had noticed the books went where duty on the author to publish his name and non-halachic books.
An example of particular interest to connect the identity of the author remains a mystery is the number of recipients Beloved days, mainly customs Shabbat & Holidays spirit of acceptance baby bullet and practice, Ari.
