Parshas
Hashavua Noach
'שפה אחת בראשית
י"א א
וחד אמר שהיו מדברים בלשון יחידו של עולם -בלשון הקודש----
ירשלמי מגילה פ"א ה"ט
The חתם
סופר writes that לשון הקדש is limited
to only those words appearing in תנ"ך.
All other words even those used by חז"ל in
the Mishna etc. is not considered לשון הקדש.
Unlike other languages, new words that were
added years later are still considered as the
original language.
The Frankfurt Oder* Shas has on the last page
of מס'
נדה printed the following,
נעשה סדור אותיות ע”י המסדר ישראל
וע”י אחותו הבתולה געלא בת כהר”ר משה שליט”א
בשנת נקבה סובב זכר לפ”ק תנ”ד **
In one of the early printed Seforim the following
declaration is printed "I, Estellina, the wife of my worthy
husband Abraham Conat wrote this Sefer בחינת עולם”
This Sefer was actually written by
ידעיה הבדרשי, not
by Estellina. What she actually meant was she printed it.
When printing was still in its infancy there was
no uniform word in לשון
הקודש (Hebrew) for the words
“print, printed, printer etc.”
Many used the term כתיבה (writing)***. Others
termed it מחוקק
(engraving). Some termed it העתק
(copy). Some used the word סידור
אותיות (organizing
the letters.
Eventually the word דפוס (form) became the standard
translation for print.
*There are 2 Frankfurts in Germany 1)D’Mein (city) 2) D’Oder (town)
** based on
Yirmiyahu 31:21 The Navi says, "There will come a
time when
women
will have to chase after men to get married" (Shidduch
crisis)
***
Some used the term "writing without a pen"
