Menasseh's printing of this Liturgical Bible (Roth Collection 111) was financed by the Christian publisher Henricus Laurentius (active 1602–45). He saw early on the export potential of the new high-quality Hebrew imprints produced by Menasseh.
The Pentateuch and prophetical portions are arranged for the weekly Shabbat readings. The woodcut title page design has been lifted from a Christian publication, as shown by the Tetragrammaton enclosed in a triangle of light – a motif of Jesuit inspiration also used by Millenarian sects.
