Two of the most magnificent volumes in the famous library of the late former King Manuel of Portugal are in Hebrew.
The Hebrew volumes appeared in 1489 and in 1496. The only book known to have been printed in Portugal at an earlier date is a single copy in the British museum. Another fifteenth century book is the perpetual almanack, of Abraham Zacuto, the astronomer and mathematician whom Vasca de Gamma consulted before he set off on his pioneer journey to India. This volume was printed in 1496.
