Despite the antiquity and prestige of the Jewish community of Frankfurt am Main, Hebrew printing in that city did not begin in earnest until the latter half of the seventeenth century. Before that point, Frankfurt Jews were forced to produce their books elsewhere. In 1609, three such Jews - Yitshak Isaac Langenbach zum Krebs, Abraham zum gulden Schaaf, and Samuel zur weißen Rosen - petitioned neighboring Hanau to allow them to publish there. Their petition was successful, and they, together with a local Hanau Jew and the printer Hans Jacob Henne, were granted a Hebrew printing privilege for ten years in return for fifty gulden per annum. From 1610 until 1622, the Henne press issued twenty-seven titles, including this book. One of the first Hebrew books to feature Moses and Aaron on the title page.
