Notes for Moses b’ Marcus Marcus (Hamburger Moses)
”.....Moses Marcus converted to Christianity in 1723. The following year he published a book:
The principal motives and circumstances that induced Moses Marcus to leave the Jewish,
and embrace the Christian faith: with a short account of his sufferings thereupon (London,
1724)....... Glückel of Hameln, his grandmother, was too embarrassed and too heartbroken to tell her readers of this development. She died, perhaps of grief, in Metz in 1724.”......
“...Moses expressed regret for his actions in a letter to his parents, preserved at the British Library ......Moses Marcus changes his mind. There is no evidence, however, that he left Christianity”
