(8), 451, (5), 127, (5)pp [COMPLETE] Rabbi Menasseh Ben Israel (1604-1657) left Portugal in 1610 with his family and settled in the Netherlands because of the Inquisition. There he founded the first Hebrew press sometime before 1632. Later he was hired to direct a small academy which had been by two Jewish brothers. I think the second work is weekly and special day prayers. 6" x 3 1/2"
