If you are partial to a bit of Spanish and Portuguese orthography for rendering Hebrew into English, then page 67 of this book holds some delights ;)Arbang KamphothBangalei Battimnote: Joshavim and not JoshabimAlso, Shamas and not Shamash.....one wonders whether these are phonetic transcriptions and are indicative of how S and P pronunciation was in London in the early 1800's?http://books.google.c...

Hello People.....could you help a new baby into the world and befriend Mr BevisMarks Minyan? It would help him if you said you "knew him in real life", or however FB phrases it. FB is doing wonders for our minyan at Bevis Marks - we have managed a quorum every day this week so far, and things are looking up. ttps://www.facebook.com/bevismarks.minyan

More information, including the newly discovered inscriptions from the tombstones can be found here: I still have not finished entering all the data from the reconstructed carrera book I assembled: it remains in mss.

I spent 5 years restoring the Spanish and Portuguese Cemetery in Bridgetown, Barbados. These pictures are from the first year - 1999 - showing tombstones appearing that had been concealed underground for 200 years ( we found coins on one grave, giving us a date). The names on the stones had not been recorded in the literature, or in the carrera books of the Kaal.

Those interested in Montanus' Latin-Hebrew literal interlinear Tanach, it can be viewed online in a very high quality scan here: The translation is very faithful to rabbinic sources, so much so that Montanus got into hot water on a charge of Judaizing. His royal connections saved him. Cryto Jews who wanted to improve their Hebrew could have used a text like this.
