The Portuguese Community of Amsterdam in The 17th Century




This long out of print catalog was isued by the Hebrew University National Library in July 1975 for their exhibition on the Spanish-Portuguese community in Amsterdam in the 17th Century. As you can see from the table of contents, this exhibit shed light on their prayer and religious books in spanish, ladino and portuguese, Sabbateanism, Institutions and Societies, Rabbi's, Doctor's and sages, Jewish Gentile relations and so much more.

The book is a great bibliographical reference book and also contains several illustrative reproductions.
