# mantua

noun

«mantua» in the English dictionary: in Jewish tradition — its meanings, how the lessons use it, and examples, each with its tree on Mova.

## In Jewish tradition

In Sefer Yetzirah texts it is only the place of printing for old editions, not part of the Torah.

**Interpretation.** Jewish printers in Italian cities such as Mantua helped spread Sefer Yetzirah and the Zohar, which made them known far beyond small circles of scholars.

### Meaning

An Italian city where books were printed long ago, and where a famous edition of Sefer Yetzirah came out in 1562. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/M/mantua/#m1)
