Reading edition

Koenen, l. c., p. 297, has erroneously Ben Venida del Monte—a name unknown in Spanish-Jewish literature. Dr. Kayserling, l. c., p. 208, note 6, corrects the mistake, and identifies him with the same authoress, who wrote in praise of the Spanish translation of the Psalter by Daniel Israel Lopez Laguna, of Jamaica. Cp. the present writer's papers on Early Jewish Literature in America, in P. A. J. H. S., No. 3, p. 110-112; 140-141; and Jewish Martyrs of the Inquisition in South America, in P. A. J. H. S., No. 4, (1895) where full references are given on this famous American-Shephardic poet.
