Rizal also signed the first print and gave it to Viola with dedication. To express his gratitude, he gave the original manuscript plus the plume he used to Viola. In 1887, the first edition of Noli was published in Berlin, Germany. Viola gave him an amount equal to three hundred pesos as preliminary payment for the first 2,000 copies of Noli Me Tangere. According to accounts, Rizal is about to throw Noli manuscripts into the fireplace when he received Viola's telegram agreeing for lending him.
