Dear Haim, There are three databases that would be useful to you. The first, now freely available from the National Library of Israel, is the Bibliography of the Hebrew Book ( http://web.nli.org.il/sites/NLI/English/infochannels/Catalogs/bibliographic-databases/Pages/the-hebrew-book.aspx), which includes: "Registration and detailed description of all Jewish literature printed in Hebrew characters, for all types and in all languages​​." The BHB has very good collation. The second is the Thesaurus of the Hebrew Book, by Yeshayahu Vinograd, which is now available for purchase on an 8 GB flash drive. Vinograd's Thesaurus includes auction history (the latest version as up to 2011). In terms of incunabula, the British Library's Incunabula Short Title Catalog (http://www.bl.uk/catalogues/istc/index.html) lists all know holdings for Hebrew incunabula, as well as collation.
