Preface to a Book Dedicated to the Rabbis of the Amsterdam Synagogue Preface to a Book Dedicated to the Rabbis of the Amsterdam Synagogue

This pamphlet comprises the preface pages to an unknown book dedicated to the Rabbis of the Amsterdam Synagogue. Written in a tongue-in-cheek style, the dedication suggests the main book might be "The Translator of the Letters Juives." The preface is printed on 18th-century laid paper and likely dates from around 1780, based on the style and paper used. The authors or dedicators are listed as Aaron Monceca, Jacob Brito, and Isaac Onis. The name Haagse Snoge is also associated with this pamphlet.
