Detailed
Description		    Flyleaf with the signature and inscription of R. Jacob Moses Loewenstamm (1747–1815), previously rabbi in Filehne (Poznania) and Cleves. The inscription list his paternal and maternal lineage for the last three generations. He was the son of R. Saul Loewenstamm, rabbi of Amsterdam and author of Binyan Ari'el (Amsterdam, 1778). When the "progressive" congregation Adat Yeshurun appointed as their rabbi Aaron Moses Isaac Graanboom, a proselyte whose father was also a proselyte, R. Jacob Moses debarred him from the rabbinate because of his association with Reform tendencies.
