Item Overview
Description:
Year-Round Selichot According to the Polish Rite – Amsterdam, 1751 – Copy Belonging to Mary Keyser of London and Her Son-in-Law Asher Goldsmid, Father of Sir Isaac Goldsmid (First Jewish Baronet of England)
Year-round Selichot, following the rite of Bohemia, Poland, Moravia and Austria. Amsterdam: Hertz Levi Rofe and his son-in-law Kosman, [1751]. Fine decorated title frame.
Contents on last leaf.
On title page, signature of "Miriam Keyser" (another signature of hers on pp. 40a, 100a) and ownership inscription: "Here, London – belongs to the official Miriam wife of Ziskind Keyser, Shanah Tovah" (both in Hebrew).
Inscriptions deleted in ink on front endpaper (Hebrew): "This Selichot belongs to the distinguished woman Miriam wife of the official Ziskind Keyser, 1768"; "Belongs to R. Asher Goldsmid". This signature also appears on the front binding.
On back endpaper, stamp (Latin characters): "Mary Keyser, 1757" (the secular date is erased with ink, replaced by hand with the Hebrew year: "5527").
The present volume belonged to Mary Keyser of London, and was later passed down to her son-in-law Asher Goldsmid (1751-1822), who married her daughter Rachel Keyser (1752-1815) and signed his name on the present volume. The couple's son was Sir Isaac Lyon Goldsmid (1778-1859), the first Jew in England to receive the hereditary title of baronet.
Mary and Ziskind Keyser were born in Amsterdam and immigrated to England. Mary was the daughter of Yissachar Ber Cohen-Kempen.
The Keyser and Goldsmid families were a mainstay of the early Ashkenazic community in Amsterdam, some of whom immigrated to London from ca. the 18th century (see Lot 40 in the present catalogue).
113, [1] leaves. 20.5 cm. Good-fair condition. Many stains (resulting from browning of paper). Dark ink stains to title page, slightly affecting text and title frame as a result of singeing. Early parchment binding, with defects (tears across spine).
