Derekh hokhmah
Derekh hokhmah is a Hebrew-language work of Jewish ethics and aggadah by Moshe Hayyim Luzzatto (1707-1747), printed in Amsterdam in the eighteenth century for a Jewish readership. The single picture is a printer's device: a woodcut emblem with two raised hands, a pair of fish, and two classical urns flanking a central shield with Hebrew lettering. A designer might take from it the symmetrical, heraldic layout of a printer's mark, with its balanced urns, columns and bordered oval frame.
