Diamonds and Coral: Anglo-Dutch Jews and Eighteenth-Century Trade

Yogev, Gedalia. Diamonds and Coral: Anglo-Dutch Jews and Eighteenth-Century Trade. New York: Holmes & Meier Pub, 1978. 8vo. 360pp. Black cloth with white lettering to spine in original dust jacket. “This study of the activities of English Jews in international trade during the eighteenth century falls into three parts: a general survey (…), a description of the trade in rough diamonds (…) and a detailed investigation into the business of one of the foremost Jewish firms in the city of London – the house of Israel Levin Salomon (Prager), which dealt mainly in the re-export of colonial goods from England to Holland. Dr. Yogev has based his work on primary sources which have never been studied with reference to Jewish economic history.” (from the dj flap) Clean and tight, with minor creasing to dj.
