It was paid for and made by Yom-Tob ben Levi Athias ( the Spanish Marrano Jerónimo de Vargas, as typographer ) and Abraham ben Salomon Usque ( the Portuguese Jew Duarte Pinhel, as translator ), and was dedicated to Ercole II d ' Este.

Ercole d ' Este I | Ercole I d ' Este was one of the most important patrons of arts in the Italian Renaissance.

The last duke, Ercole III, was deposed in 1796 by the French and his two duchies became the Cispadane Republic which one year later was merged into the Cisalpine Republic and then into the Napoleonic Kingdom of Italy.

Ercole was compensated in 1801 with the small principality of Breisgau in southwestern Germany, whose previous rulers, the Habsburgs, ceded it to him in anticipation of its eventual return to the Habsburgs, since Ercole's daughter Maria Beatrice Ricciarda d ' Este was married to a cadet Habsburg, Archduke Ferdinand of Austria-Este.

Enlarged and fortified by Ercole II, it was made the primary ducal residence when Ferrara, the main Este seat, fell to the Pope in 1598.

Ercole III died in exile at Treviso, having refused Napoleonic offers of compensation when Modena was made part of the Napoleonic Cispadane Republic.
