Until the late 19th century, for lack of a Hebrew printing press in Yemen, almost all work of Yemenite rabbis were copied by hand. The first press was established in 1891, in Aden (then under British rule). Only about twenty Hebrew books were printed there (see: Yaari, The Hebrew Press in Aden, in: HaDefus HaIvri BeArtzot HaMizrach, Jerusalem, 1937, pp. 86-91. Yaari records 13 titles printed in Aden).
