Immanuel Benveniste (also Manuel Benveniste)[1] (1608 in Venice – c. 1660 in Amsterdam) was an Italian Jewish printer in Amsterdam who printed many Hebrew works including an edition of the Talmud from 1644-48.
[2][3][4] He was one of a number of notable Portuguese Jewish printers at Amsterdam in the seventeenth century, including Manasseh ben Israel, David de Castro Tartas, and Joseph and Immanuel Athias.
[5][6] Benveniste also published the sermons of Saul Levi Morteira in 1652.
[7] Benveniste’s printer’s device (which may have been the family escutcheon) showed an upright lion facing a tower with a star above.
In their case, Benveniste presumably allowed them to use the mark, perhaps as a show of support for his former employees.
