The earliest ex libris with Hebrewwording were made for non-Jews. One of the first bookplates was made byAlbrecht Duerer for Willibald Pirkheimer (c. 1504) with an inscription inHebrew, Greek, and Latin of Psalms 111:10. Hector Pomer of Nuremberg had awoodcut ex libris (1525) that is attributed to Duerer or his disciple,Hans Sebald Beham, with the Hebrew translation of \"Unto the pure allthings are pure\" (NT, Titus 1:15). \"A time for everything\"(Eccles. 3:1) in Hebrew is found on the bookplate (1530) by Barthel Beham, ofHieronymus Baumgartner of Nuremberg.Among the Jewish artists in England whoengraved bookplates in the 18 century were Benjamin Levi ofPortsmouth, Isaac Levi of Portsea, Moses Mordecai of London, Samuel Yates ofLiverpool, and Mordecai Moses and Ezekiel Abraham Ezekiel of Exeter. However,they only made a few bookplates for Jews. The first known ex libris of aJew was made by Benjamin Levi for Isaac Mendes of London in 1746. A number ofBritish Jews in the 18 and 19 centuries had armorialbookplates 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 forDavid Friedlaender, engraved by Daniel N. Chodowiecki in 1774; and BernhardtFriedlaender, by Johann M.S. Lowe in 1790. In the 18 century Dutchmembers of the Polack (Polak) family were among the early bookplate artists.A.S. Polak engraved a heraldic ex libris for the Jewish baron Aerssenvan Sommelsdyk. Isaac de Pinto, a Dutch Sephardi Jew, had a bookplate featuringa huge flower vase with his monogram. The modern Russian-Jewish artist S.Yudovin engraved a number of exquisite woodcut bookplates which are among therelatively few with Yiddish inscriptions.

He gave the Hebrew rendering of the Latin term exlibris – mi-sifrei (\"from the books of\") for the numerous exlibris, which he created with definitive Jewish significance, andinaugurated a new era in this field that was pursued by other Jewish artists.Hermann Struck drew inspiration from the monuments and landscape of Ereẓ Israelfor the ex libris he made. Joseph Budko created more than 50 bookplatesin aquatints, woodcuts, etchings, and drawings, mostly in a purely ornamental style,leaning heavily on the decorative value of Hebrew script. His artistic exlibris are considered among the finest Jewish examples. Jakob Steinhardtalso executed a number of bookplates.
