Thanks to a start-up grant from the Gershwind-Bennett Families, we are transcribing and scanning the correspondence of 19th century Orthodox Jewish teacher, scholar, and publisher Isaac Leeser.
This extensive illustrated manuscript takes us on a tour through the Holy Land, as it was known, at the end of the 17th century. It describes many sites of Biblical significance, including Damascus and the grave of Mary, and documents the geography, cartography, flora, fauna, history, economy, ethnicities, and languages of the region.
This Omeka bibliographic database draws from Robert Singerman’s Judaica Americana, a bibliography chronicling American Jewish book production until 1900.
