Seitz Typography

The Seitz printing house at Via Seminario 12 is linked to the collaboration with Isacco Reggio, rabbi of the Jewish community of Gorizia in the early 19th century, who published a series of texts entirely in Hebrew, others in Hebrew and Italian, or only in Italian, such as the “Guide for the religious instruction of Israelite youth” and the “Strenna Israelitica”.

Near the “Judengasse” in the eighteenth century there was also the Tommasini printing house where the first text in Gorizia in Hebrew characters was published, “Collection of Italian, French, Friulian, German, Cragnoline, English, Greek and Hebrew compositions and poems” in 1779. It includes the Hebrew text of the poem “La tortorella” by Lazzaro Gentilli.

He also published two texts by the Jew Elia Morpurgo (1740-1830) from Gradisca: one with the speech on the “Patent of Tolerance” issued by Joseph II and a translation of the “Jewish Speeches on Tolerance and Happiness” by Naftali Herz Weisel.
