A3. Este sen intimo, e affeiçoado amigo,
o Hahā, Menasseh ben Israel
Amsterdam 12 de Tamuz, An. 5407. [B. M.]
[¹] The author, in his Nishmath Chayyim, 1651, folio 103, bewails the premature death of his son Joseph, the printer of this book. He was, he tells us, a keen Talmudist, and had a perfect knowledge of four languages. He had sent him on a voyage for the first time, and on returning to Amsterdam from Dantzig was shipwrecked. On his second journey the following year to Poland, on nearing Lublin, he died, being at the time about twenty years of age.
The two parts of Thesouro dos Dinim were subsequently reissued in one volume:—
Amsterdam Anno 5470 (8º. 4 + 201 + 2 ll.)[¹] [I. S.]
[¹] This second issue is rarer than the first: 5470 is a misprint for 5407.
