About This Item
Hoboken, NJ: KTAV Publishing House, ( 1995 ). First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/fine. Octavo; xvi, 140 pages, red cloth, clipping burn on front endpapers
Folkloric account of Kaifeng's Jews and the first Christian missionaries in China. The Jews, never having heard of Christianity, assumed that anyone who believed in one God must be a co-religionist. The missionaries, never having imagined that there might be Jews in China, assumed they were lost Christians. When the misunderstanding was cleared jup, the Christians set about trying to convert the Jews - but to no avail, because the Jews of Kaifeng were adamantly loyal to their heritage. Illustrated by Ting Cheng.

About Thomas J. Joyce And Company
Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975.

Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
