The Sanatory Institutions of the Hebrews: Part IThis extremely rare softbound booklet, published in Montreal in 1861 by John Lovell, explores the laws of Kashrut as detailed in the Bible and Rabbinical writings, relating them to modern sanitary regulations. Authored by Rabbi Abraham de Sola, this treatise is a significant piece of mid-19th-century Jewish American scholarship. WorldCat lists only one copy in Canada, and Singerman lists none. This work represents the first time an American religious leader connected Kashrut laws to a contemporary context. No evidence suggests a Part II was ever published. The booklet is described as being of exceptional rarity.
