ELIEZER D'ITALIA:
Printer of Mantua at the beginning of the seventeenth century; established a printing-office in Mantua in 1612 after an interval of fifteen years during which no Hebrew printing-establishment had existed there. In that year he issued the "Ayyelet ha-Shaḥar," a collection of liturgies by Mordecai Yare; "Yashir Mosheh," a Purim poem by Moses of Corfu; and Abraham Portaleone's "Shilṭe ha-Gibborim."
