About this Item

In German. 56 pages. 217 x 145 mm. Printed in Gothic script. Autobiography and family history of Salomon Kaliphari (1780-1863), a merchant from Posen, who later added the proprietary name Posner. He was a descendant of Salomo (died in 1600), of Spanish descent, who took the name Kaliphari and settled in Krakow, Poland. Salomon Kaliphari (1780-1863) recalls the story of his family in a self-portrait and portraits of seven ancestors reaching back to the 16th century when his family emigrated from Spain to Poland. Most of his ancestors lived in Posen and the surrounding area as merchants and Talmud scholars. The text also contains an obituary for Jakob Kalphary, an excerpt from Joseph Landsberg's will, and a family tree. The text was translated from Hebrew by Salomon Kaliphari's grandson Rabbi Moritz Landsberg. Seller Inventory # 016108
