The modern Romanian spelling of the name of the man called by Rabbi Morais here "the wily Cogalniceanu" (1817-1891; Prime Minister of Romania for about 15 months from October of 1863 to late January of 1865, twice Romania's Minister of foreign af...

Rabbi Morais's reference to "the all-embracing association -- the universal Alliance --" seems to me to be probably a reference to the organization founded by French Jews/Jewish Frenchmen in 1860 to aid other Jews in other parts of the world whose...

I wish to note that it seems to me that in the line of text now numbered 16 in the transcription, it appears to me that Rabbi Morais -- with respect to a word after "our" -- at first wrote "bel" (perhaps intending "beliefs"), but then (deciding to...

In the line of manuscript text now designated as transcription line 22, "through" was actually *written over* Iand beyond) "in" -- although I have used "strike" and "add" markup usually used for actual cross-outs and above-line insertions.

I believe that what was typed as "aclaim" in the 1st line of text was meant to be read as "a claim", and that what was typed as "pulpitslesson" in the 2nd line was meant to be read/understood as "pulpits lessons".

It seems to me that references to "Ben Pakoda", "Saadia", and "Judah Hallevi" are to Jewish scholars/authors known in English-language Jewish texts of more recent generations (at least sometimes) as "Bahya [or Bachya] ibn Pakuda" (circa 1050-1120)...
