Intersection register · custodian, not owner
Faro, capital of the Algarve (Portugal), was home in the Middle Ages to a Jewish community active in maritime trade and crafts. The city is notable as the place where one of the first Hebrew books published on the Iberian Peninsula was printed in 1487; the Jews were expelled in 1496 during the expulsion from Portugal.

The days of this book
