Description
   Elias Hayyim Lindo (1783–1865) settled in London after a mercantile career in St. Thomas (West Indies) where he was president of the Jewish community. He published an English translation of Manasseh Ben Israel's Conciliador (1842), A History of the Jews of Spain and Portugal (1848), and a Jewish Calendar for Sixty-four Years (1838) containing much historical information. Some of his unpublished translations of Jewish classics are in the library of Jews' College, London.
