Provenance: Solomon Nunes Carvalho each cover stamped in gilt Rare large-paper association copy of the first Jewish translation of the Pentateuch into English. More than any other person of his time Isaac Leeser 1806-1868 envisioned the development of a major center of Jewish culture and religious activity in the United States. He single-handedly provided American Jews with many of the basic religious texts institutions and conceptual tools they needed to construct the cultural foundation of what would later emerge as the largest Jewish community in the history of the Jewish people. Printed in 1845 this edition of the Pentateuch in five volumes included a vocalized Hebrew text of each of the Five Books of Moses together with an English translation and notes as well as the haftarot prophetic readings. Leeser actually began working on The Law of God in 1838. Among the factors involved in his decision to begin systematically working on a translation was the recent opening of Rebecca Gratz's Sunday School which met for the first time in March 1838 in Philadelphia and was desperately in need of appropriate study material. Students were compelled to use the King James Bible for want of a Jewish alternative. Religiously objectionable passages in other texts provided by Protestant organizations were either pasted over or torn out by Gratz's staff. Leeser who supported the Sunday School and was its chief academic resource person felt compelled to find more suitable texts for the students. The impetus for Leeser throughout was always his desire to provide the Jews of America with an English text of the Bible that was produced by one of their own and was not tainted by conversionist motivations. This copy with provenance to Solomon Nunes Carvalho who was a noted American painter photographer writer and inventor best known for traveling with John C. Fremont on his fifth expedition through Kansas Colorado and Utah. He published an account of that journey titled "Incidents of Travel and Adventure in the Far West; with Colonel Fremont's Last Expedition" 1860 and was considered a pioneer in travel photography. Isaac Leeser the hazzan of Congregation K.K. Mikveh Israel married Carvalho and his wife Sarah Miriam Solis on October 15 1845 in Philadelphia where Carvalho's father had a workshop.

John B Inglis [John Bellingham Inglis] (1780-1870), book collector [Isaac Preston Cory (1801/2-1842), Hebrew Lecturer, Caius ColBiblio.com

Autograph Letter Signed 'John B. Inglis' from the book collector John Bellingham Inglis to Isaac Preston Cory of Caius College Cambridge about the superiority of his 'method of trisecting an angle' over that of 'Mr. Rowbotham' John Rowbotham.

1172621 Upper Montagu St; 24 February 1836. 2pp. 12mo. 42 lines. Bifolium. Fair on aged paper. Addressed on reverse of second leaf to 'I. P. Cory Esq'. The letter begins: 'A friend of mine Mr. Jackson having told Mr. Rowbotham Ruskin's tutor John Rowbotham that I had discovered a method of trisecting an angle that gentleman said he had done it himself which I believe he has upon the proposition you showed me - he says it was originally published by Professor Leslie'. Inglis considers that 'Mr. R. seems to have hit upon something he does not quite comprehend'. Rowbotham called upon Inglis the previous night '& showed me his diagram I happened to have one also upon a slate made in consequence of the conversation I had with you some days since'. He feels that 'all that Mr. R cannot account for in his method is made clear in minebut whether he sees through it or not I dont know'. Rowbotham 'is going to publish his in a periodical next month'. Cory will then see that 'it is quite a different method from the one I showed you on the 3d. instant at Sothebys & which I invented in the month of December last'. He showed his diagram to Rowbotham 'but not the means by which I discovered the ratio contained in it'. Inglis must now 'be content to stand in the background' but considers it right 'to keep myself clear of any suspicion hereafter of having borrowed my discovery from Mr. R'. If Rowbotham 'fails in giving a good demonstration of his there are many to whom it will readily suggest one'. Inglis believes he can 'both rectify his diagram & give a clear analysis of it'. Cory had graduated BA in 1824 as thirteenth wrangler. 21 Upper Montagu St; 24 February 1836. unknown
