Beginning in 1702, Lunéville was the seat of the ducal court of Lorraine, France. An edict of 1753 allowed two Jewish families to establish a community in Lunéville and five years later, Abraham Brisac, president of the Jewish community, requested and received permission from King Louis XVI to build a synagogue. Wishing to further assist the Jews of Lunéville, Brisac established a Hebrew press in the 1796. Over the course of the next thirteen years 18 volumes were published at his press.
