Hardcover. Condition: Good. American Edition. "Jewish scholarship is deeply indebted to the author for his untiring and devoted endeavours carried on for many years faithfully to transcribe and elucidate all the extant inscriptions on the island of Barbados. The history of the Jewish community of that island goes back to the same chain of events which led to the establishment of the first organized Jewish community on the North American continent in 1654. But beyond the confines of Barbados the story of its beginnings, as it unfolds here from these inscriptions, as well as from the work done on them by Messrs. Shilstone, Barnett, and Samuel, will shed much new light on the early stages of Jewish communal evolution throughout the Western Hemisphere." - Introduction. [4], xxxiii, [1], 205 pp. Index of Names.
