Talk:Moses Montefiore

Untitled
This article is awful - sounds like some zealot wrote it. Includes no historical information about his political and financial work (certainly both more important in his own lifetime!)

The article state: "Her sister, Henriette (or Hannah) (1791-1866), married Nathan Mayer"

I believe that the years stated when she shwe was born and passed away are wrong. Refer to the page on Nathan Mayer - Rothschild http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nathan_Mayer_Rothschild Where it states: On October 22, 1806 in London, he married Hanna Barent Cohen (1783-1850).

There was another Henriette who was a daughter of Mayer Amschel and a sister to Nathan Mayer See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayer_Amschel_Rothschild Where it lists Henriette as the ninth child to mayer amschel

9.Henriette ("Jette") (1791-1866)

That could explain the mistake of the years.

This is a hagiography, not a biography
I agree with the above comment. Someone needs to systematically update the entry based on Samet's 1989 book in Hebrew, or at the least based on Abigail Green 2010 book. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Domberlic (talk • contribs) 22:10, 20 May 2017 (UTC)

"givedrs to turner "?
What does this phrase mean?? Too Old (talk) 06:47, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Literal meaning
Montefiore, of course, means Blumberg, but I don't see anywhere in Wikipedia where it says that. Varlaam (talk) 05:38, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
