DAVIS, MYER DAVID

This entry is not yet translated: it is shown in French.

Pédagogue et écrivain anglais; né à Londres en 1830. Il reçut son éducation à la Jews' Free School, où il devint finalement maître de Talmud Torah. Par la suite, il fut directeur de la Gates of Hope School des Juifs espagnols et portugais. Pendant deux ans (1873-1875), il fut rédacteur en chef du "Jewish World." Après cela, gagnant sa vie par des leçons particulières, il consacra ses loisirs à la recherche parmi les archives inédites de l'histoire des Juifs d'Angleterre avant l'expulsion. Il a constitué une collection incomparable d'extraits des documents en latin et en hébreu antérieurs à 1290, qui fut publiée par l'Anglo-Jewish Historical Exhibition de 1887 sous le titre "Shetaroth: Hebrew Deeds of English Jews" (Londres, 1888).
