Abstract
Thomas Calvert translated into English the testimony of the eleventh-century Fezzan Jew Samuel Marochitanus in The blessed Jew of Marocco. First published in Latin in the year 1339, the authenticity of the epistle of Samuel of Morocco has never been confirmed. However, its presentation of a converted Jew and its justification, excerpted here, of Jewish tribulations, may explain why it appeared in more than 20 printings prior to 1500, and 11 more before Calvert’s edition.
