Conversion Of Dr. Capadose, Tr. From The Germ. By A Lady H.J. With Preface And Appendix By The Fr. Ed" by Abraham Capadose. This work presents the autobiographical narrative of Abraham Capadose, a Portuguese Jew who became a physician and later converted to Christianity. Born in Amsterdam, Capadose pursued medical studies and wrestled with questions of faith amid secular philosophy and Jewish tradition. A turning point came through intensive study of Scripture, particularly Isaiah 53, and discussions with Christian colleagues, leading to a personal confession and baptism in Leyden in 1822. The text recounts the struggles he faced from family members who opposed his faith, the compassion of friends, and the broader spiritual influences that guided him. It also tells of his brother’s conversion and death, and concludes with exhortations for Christians to pray for Israel and to consider biblical prophecies concerning the Messiah. The work includes a Preface by H.J. and an Appendix by the French editor Pettavel.
