Hardcover. Philadelphia: Moss & Brother, 1855. Cloth, 8vo. 486 pages. First edition.

He published the first Jewish periodical in England and co-produced the first translation of parts of the Mishna into English. In 1849 he moved to the US, and in 1860 delivered the first invocation by a rabbi before the US House of Representatives.

Staunchly Jewish in perspective, Raphall freely admits his bias, referring to himself as "not the abstraction of a Jew, but one living, acting, feeling warmly for them and with them: he is the son, the descendant of the men whose deeds and suffering he is about to relate". Raphall based his history primarily upon Josephus and the Talmud, but also utilizes Polybius, Tacitus and several other historians, ancient and modern, among them Gillies' "History of Greece" and Kitto's "History of Palestine". Raphall recognizes the pro-Roman bias of Josephus "whose public life exercised so pernicious an… Leer más
