Description
Conflict between printer-publishers of Amsterdam and Suizbach concerned the printing and publishing of the Talmud. The first copy printed was given an approval which included the prohibition of printing by anyone else for 25 years. Three years later another printer published a Talmud of their own. The reaction was that use of the second Talmud was forbidden and copies were ordered to be burnt.
