JEWISH BOOKPLATES, labels, usually inside book covers, indicatingthe owner of the books. The earliest ex libris with Hebrew wording weremade for non-Jews. One of the first bookplates was made by Albrecht Duerer forWillibald Pirkheimer (c. 1504) with an inscription in Hebrew, Greek, and Latinof Psalms 111:10. Hector Pomer of Nuremberg had a woodcut ex libris(1525) that is attributed to Duerer or his disciple, Hans Sebald Beham, withthe Hebrew translation of \"Unto the pure all things are pure\" (NT,Titus 1:15). \"A time for everything\" (Eccles. 3:1) in Hebrew is foundon the bookplate (1530) by Barthel Beham, of Hieronymus Baumgartner ofNuremberg.Among the Jewish artists in England who engraved bookplates in the 18century were Benjamin Levi of Portsmouth, Isaac Levi of Portsea, Moses Mordecaiof London, Samuel Yates of Liverpool, and Mordecai Moses and Ezekiel AbrahamEzekiel of Exeter. However, they only made a few bookplates for Jews. The firstknown ex libris of a Jew was made by Benjamin Levi for Isaac Mendes ofLondon in 1746. A number of British Jews in the 18 and 19 centuries hadarmorial bookplates bearing the family coat of arms, although some of them werespurious. Sir Moses Montefiore had several ex libris which bore hisdistinctively Jewish coat of arms. Among the few Jewish ex libris madein the latter half of the 18 century in Germany were those for DavidFriedlaender, engraved by Daniel N. Chodowiecki in 1774; and BernhardtFriedlaender, by Johann M.S. Lowe in 1790. In the 18 century Dutch members ofthe Polack (Polak) family were among the early bookplate artists. A.S. Polakengraved a heraldic ex libris for the Jewish baron Aerssen vanSommelsdyk. Isaac de Pinto, a Dutch Sephardi Jew, had a bookplate featuring ahuge flower vase with his monogram. The modern Russian-Jewish artist S. Yudovinengraved a number of exquisite woodcut bookplates which are among therelatively few with Yiddish inscriptions. Among other European Jewish artistswho have used various graphic media to execute ex libris are Lodewijk Lopes Cardozo, Fré Cohen, AliceGarman-Horodisch, Georg Jilovsky, Emil Orlik, and Hugo Steiner-Prag. MarcoBirnholz (1885–1965) of Vienna, a foremost collector, had over 300 differentones for his own use that were made by many of the European Jewish graphicartists. Bookplates of three Jews are considered to be among the earliestAmerican ex libris, dating from the first half of the 19 century. Thepictorial bookplate of Barrak (Baruch) Hays of New York incorporated a familycoat of arms. Benjamin S. Judah had two armorial bookplates, although there isno evidence that he was entitled to bear a coat of arms. Dr. Benjamin I.Raphael also had two ex libris – one showing a hand grasping a surgeon\'sknife and the other a skull and bones, symbols frequently found on medical exlibris. Among the early American college bookplates that have Hebrew wordsare those of Yale University, inscribed with Urim ve-Thumim, Columbiawith Ori El (\"God is my light,\" alluding to Ps. 27:1), andDartmouth with El Shaddai (\"God Almighty\"). Many of the majoruniversities in the United States have a variety of bookplates for theirJudaica collections. American Jewish artists of bookplates include Joseph B.Abrahams, Joanne Bauer-Mayer, Todros Geller, A. Raymond Katz, Reuben Leaf,Solomon S. Levadi, Isaac Lichtenstein, Saul Raskin, and Ilya Schor. EphraimMoses Lilien, the \"father of Jewish bookplates,\" designed many forearly Zionist leaders which revealed national suffering and hopes. He gave theHebrew rendering of the Latin term ex libris – mi-sifrei(\"from the books of\") for the numerous ex libris, which hecreated with definitive Jewish significance, and inaugurated a new era in thisfield that was pursued by other Jewish artists. Hermann Struck drew inspirationfrom the monuments and landscape of Ereẓ Israel for the ex libris hemade. Joseph Budko created more than 50 bookplates in aquatints, woodcuts,etchings, and drawings, mostly in a purely ornamental style, leaning heavily onthe decorative value of Hebrew script. His artistic ex libris areconsidered among the finest Jewish examples. Jakob Steinhardt also executed anumber of bookplates. Among the other modern Israel artists who produced exlibris are Aryeh Allweil, David Davidowicz, Ze\'ev Raban, J. Ross, JacobStark, and Shelomo Yedidiah. Synagogues, Jewish community centers, andinstitutions of Jewish learning have their own bookplates on which areimprinted names of the donors of books or names of deceased persons who arethus memorialized. Important collections of ex libris are at HebrewUnion College, Cincinnati, consisting mainly of the private collections ofIsrael Solomons and Philip Goodman, and at the Museum of the Printing Arts,Safed, based mainly on the private collection of Abraham Weiss of Tel Aviv.
