D. I.

Anno XXXVIII. Salom Italia. Sculpsit. Anno

(Line Engraving 7⅜ × 5.)[¹]
p. 44.
[¹] Manasseh’s portrait had been etched by his friend Rembrandt ★ in 1636, the copper plate being-subsequently converted into a mezzotint ★; but this engraving by Salom de Mordecai Italia, taken at the age of thirty-eight, was his favourite portrait. It was this likeness he sent to Abraham von Franckenberg, the Silesian mystic, as a token of his friendship. (Bonum Nuncium Israeli [P. FELGENHAWER] ... Amsterodami ... 1655. p. 92.)
At the upper left corner of the engraving is a small vignette of a pilgrim with staff and water wallet, and at the corner opposite is a lighted candle in a metal holder on a shelf, alongside an open volume inscribed [♦]נר דברך לרגלי (Psalm cxix., 105). A similar design to the vignette was used as the printer’s mark of several volumes from Manasseh’s press with the motto “Apercebido Como Hv Romeiro.”
In the Hermitage at St. Petersburg a painting of an old Rabbi by Rembrandt (1645) is suggested to be a portrait of Manasseh, but this is extremely doubtful.
Of Salom Italia very little indeed is known. The only other portrait he engraved was that of Haham Jacob Judah Aryeh de Leon, who in 1641 completed a model of Solomon’s Temple. In 1885 J. L. Joachimsthal sold by auction at Amsterdam a מגילה dated 1665, written and embellished with forty pen-and-ink drawings, signed

p. 44.
[¹] The original from which this portrait is taken is unknown. Dr. M. Kayserling in the Jewish Encyclopedia, 1902, vol. iii., p. 422, erroneously attributes it to Rembrandt. It was etched by a fellow pupil of his, Jan Lievens, who probably was also the delineator. Rembrandt’s portraits of Bueno at about the age of thirty-five are the celebrated etching known as the “Jew Doctor,” 1647, and an oil-painting, somewhat similar in style, head and bust only, but reversed, probably done at the same time and now in the collection of Baron de Six at Amsterdam. It has recently been etched by William Steelink (signed artist’s proof on Japanese paper, with the armorial bearings of the Baron de Six on the margin, 7½ × 6¼ ★ ), and also illustrates Kayserling’s biography of Bueno in the Jewish Encyclopedia, ibid. It has been suggested that a daughter of Bueno was the model for Rembrandt’s etching “The Jewish Bride.” Bueno became a Burgher of Amsterdam in 1651, and died on the 30 Hesvan 5426 = 8 Nov., 1665; and his wife Jeudit Buena i Sivan 5430 = 20 May, 1670.

★LEON (LEÃO) [TEMPLO], Jacob Judah Aryeh de Abraham de.
1603–1675 ?)
Iaacob Ievda Leon Hebreo Ætat Svæ XXXVIIII.
(Line Engraving 7 × 5⅜.)[¹]
p. 44.
[¹] This portrait is a brilliant specimen of the graver’s art, but as it is a proof before the inscription to the lower part, neither the name of the delineator nor the engraver is known. The lettering round the portrait tells us that “Iaacob Ievda Leon” was then thirty-nine years of age, which would fix 1642 as the year it was done. Albert Wolf (1841–1907), in his article on “Die Portraits des Jakob Jehuda Leone” (Monatschrift für Geschichte und Wissenchaft des Judenthums ... Januar 1900 ... Berlin ... pp. 41–43) does not mention it. It is tentatively suggested that it is the work of Salom Italia, whose well-known signed portrait★ (7 × 5³⁄₁₀) has the following legend encompassing it:—
Effigies uiri doctissimi et clarissima Jacobi Yehudæ Leonis Hebræi autoris Structuræ templi Salomonici facti anno 1641.
It is similar to the anonymous engraving, but here the ear is almost entirely hidden by a lock of hair, and the large lace-edged collar is replaced by a plain narrow one. In addition the blank scroll below the portrait contains illustrations inscribed “Templo de Selomoh” and “Tabernaculo de Moseh.” It was re-engraved (6⁹⁄₁₀ × 4⁹⁄₁₀) by Conrad Buno★ for John Saubert’s Latin version of Leon’s “Temple of Solomon,” published at Helmstadt in 1665 and at Altdorf in 1674. A very small engraving (4³⁄₁₀ × 3), attributed to Jacob van Meurs,* was published in 1653: “Effigies viri Clarissimi Doctissimique Iacobi Iehudæ Leonis Hebræi structuræ tabernaculi Mosaici et templi Salomonis auctoris Ætatis Anno 50.” It is rarely met with.

For sixty years he was Grand Rabbin de Strasburg, twenty of which he was President of the Consistory of Israelites for the Department of the Lower Rhine. He was a member of the Sanhedrin convened by Napoleon, and the first Jew to be decorated with the Legion of Honour.

p. 4, No. 8, is a collection of miscellaneous notes, etc. (1769–1785) of Joseph Josel Judah Mörchingen, Dayan at Metz. The transcription is signed אני הכותב הק׳ יצחק זעקיל עקימרייט? the father of Grand Rabbin Jacob Meyer.
On the occasion of the coronation of Napoleon as Emperor he wrote: “Cantique pour célébrer le jour du sacre et du couronnement de S. M. Napoléon, empereur des Français, inséré à la suite de l’hymne de Krageau.”
“Ode pour célébrer le jour immortel de l’élévation de S. M. Napoléon à la dignité impèriale, à Paris, de l’imprimerie impériale, 1804,” in 8º.
Two years later, in celebration of Napoleon’s thirty-seventh birthday, he published:—
“Ode pour célébrer le jour de l’anniversaire de la naissance de Napoléon, Empereur des François et Roi d’Italie; Composée en hébreu par J. Mayer, et Traduite en François par Michel Berr, ... A Paris, ... M.DCCC.VJ.” (8º. 13 pp. [B.M.])

In the Hebrew title page he is referred to as Mayer of Bergheim (Alsace).
The wife of Grand Rabbin Zadok Kahn (mother-in-law of Grand Rabbin [adjoint] Israel Lèvi) was his granddaughter. He died on the 7th October, 1842, at the age of ninety.

THE CONFERENCE BETWEEN MANASSEH BEN-ISRAEL AND OLIVER CROMWELL.
Solomon Alexander Hart, R.A.
Oil painting [copyright] 60½ × 91.)[¹]
p. 15.
[¹] On Wednesday, the 12th of December, 1655, a conference was held in the Long Gallery at Whitehall, to which were invited the Lord Chief Justice, the Lord Chief Baron, the most eminent divines and lawyers, the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs and citizens of London, to consider, after many previous parliaments had in vain been petitioned, the proposal of Manasseh of admitting Jews to settle in England, from whence they had been banished in the reign of Edward the First.
The scene represents Dr. Thos. Goodwin debating on the proposal. On Goodwin’s left is Dr. John Owen together with other divines; among these Dr. Samuel Cradock meditates on Manasseh’s appeal. At Cromwell’s left hand is the Lord Chief Justice, Sir John Glynn; on his right is seen part of the head of the Chief Baron. At the feet of the Protector, Mr. Secretary Thurloe takes notes of the proceedings.
The Lord Mayor Draper, or rather Dethick, is present, together with the Sheriffs, sword and mace bearer.
Second on the right of Manasseh, among other sympathisers with his appeal, is Hugh Peters: on the right of this picture some Puritan divines and Roundhead troopers listen; a musketeer completes the group. An attendant is searching for information among objects, the authorities for which are preserved in the Rolls Court. Two merchants’ wives, one with her son, and some citizens, form the group on the left.
Although the result of the conference was unfavourable, a few Jews came back on sufferance, but ultimately were allowed to return at the restoration of the Monarchy.
