'''Jacob ben Hayyim ben Isaac ibn Adonijah''', (about [[1470 AD|1470]]–before [[1538 AD|1538]]), was a scholar of the [[Masoretic text|Masoretic]] textual notes on the [[Hebrew Bible]], and [[printer (publisher)|printer]]. Born in [[Spain]], he left his native country and fled to [[Tunis]] (hence sometimes called Tunisi) to escape the persecutions that broke out there at the beginning of the sixteenth century. After residing at [[Rome]] and [[Florence]] he settled at [[Venice]], where he was engaged as corrector of the Hebrew press of [[Daniel Bomberg]]. Late in life he embraced Christianity. Jacob's name is known chiefly in connection with his edition of the [[Rabbinical Bible]] ([[1524 AD|1524]]–[[1525 AD|25]]), which he supplied with Masoretic notes and an introduction which discusses the Masorah, ''[[qere]]'' and ''[[ketib]]'', and the discrepancies between the [[Talmud]]ists and the Masorah. The value of his activity as a Masorite was recognized even by [[Elijah Levita]], who, however, often finds fault with his selections.<sup>[1]</sup>

Jacob's introduction to the Rabbinical Bible was translated into Latin by [[Claude Capellus]] in [[1667 AD|1667]],<sup>[2]</sup> and into English by [[Christian D. Ginsburg]] (Longman, [[1865 AD|1865]]). Jacob also wrote a dissertation on the [[Targum]], prefixed to the [[1527 AD|1527]] and [[1543 AD|1543]]-[[1544 AD|44]] editions of the [[Pentateuch]], and published extracts from [[Moses ha-Nakdan]]'s ''Darke ha-Nikkud weha-[[Neginot]]'', a work on the accents. He revised the ''[[editio princeps]]'' of the [[Jerusalem Talmud]] ([[1532 AD|1523]]), of [[Maimonides]]' ''[[Mishneh Torah|Yad]]'', and of many other works from Bomberg's press.
