[BKARTS] Van Gelder Paper

[John Cutrone <jcutrone@xxxxxxx>]

Hello List:

I have a question from someone in Cataloguing here at FAU Libraries  
about the colophon of a book in our collection that perhaps one of  
you can shed some light upon. Here's the question:

The colophon (in Hebrew) says it's printed on [.] Van Gelder paper.  
The missing word isn't a standard Hebrew word in reference to paper;  
maybe it's a proper name?  It's something like Biten or Bitan or  
Bieten. Would any of those make sense?

Any insight would be appreciated!
John
