Zolkiew (Zhovkva)
Galicia (Ukraine)
Zolkiew (Polish Żółkiew, today Zhovkva, Lviv Oblast, western Ukraine), a town in eastern Galicia, was one of the major centers of Hebrew printing in Poland from the late seventeenth century. A press established there around 1692 by the family of the Amsterdam printer Uri Feibush Halevi made Zolkiew, alongside Lublin and Kraków, a leading hub of Hebrew publishing until the presses were transferred to Lemberg in 1782.
