Biography

Parenzo was a member of a prominent printing family, which included his brother Meir [Wikidata], one of the best-known Jewish printers of the period.[1] Their father Jacob, also a printer,[2] was a native of Parenzo om Venetian Dalmatia.[3]

He was employed by Giovanni Bragadin in printing a large number of works of Hebrew literature, among them Isaac Abravanel's commentary on the Pentateuch (1579), the Tanakh (1586), and the fourth part of the Turim (1594).
