Reading on Internet Archive as background for Kadish’s The Weight of Ink.
Style is dry. Shows how lively modern history has become.
GR has not uploaded any info on this book, a pity.
Thank you Helen for your recommendation!

Menasseh is remembered as the head of the Jewish community in XVIIth century Great Britain, the author of The Hope of Israel (1650, his messianic vision), the interlocutor of the sympathetic-to-the-Jews Cromwell.
He was also the first printer in Hebrew in Amsterdam, a trader for the Jewish colony of Recife in Brazil, and the subject of The Weight of Ink, by Rachel Kadish.
