<<THE FIRST JEWISH PRAYER BOOK PRINTED IN ENGLAND.>> Isaac Nieto (1687-1773), succeeded his father David Nieto, as Haham of the Spanish and Portuguese Synagogue of London. Nieto’s Spanish translation of the Jewish liturgy is esteemed for its superior style and became the basis of all subsequent translations into English. See A. M. Hyamson, The Sephardim of England (1951) p. 183; and EJ, Vol. XII, col. 1153.
