Rev. DAVID LEVY,
CHARLESTON, S. C.
Feby 8th 1883.
Revd. S. Morais:--
My Dear Sir:--
Would you be kind enough to tell me in how far Michelet is correct, in say-ing that the Copernican system was known by the Jews, and is to be found in the Kabbala? Can you give me the substance of the Rabbinic theory, and where it may be found.?
During my visit north last summer, Mendelsohn and I spoke to Messrs Binswanger & Dropsie,--as also Dr. Jastrow--in reference to the Exfaculty of Maimonides College, granting us a diploma, and a degree, as provided for in the charter given the Hebrew Educa-tion Society by the Legislature. Do you know whether the matter has been broached at all? We have found it, at times, quite a disadvantage, in being without any evidence of having received such kind
and while the Faculty is still in the land of the living it would be opportune to obtain their views on the subject. Mr Dropsie & Binswanger were quite fa-vorable to the idea of granting us the document & degree, while Dr Jastrow hesitated in giving an opinion Pray, what is your idea? Mendelsohn & myself thought of making & joint application. I find that the authority for granting such such diploma &c is vested with the faculty & not the Trustees. If we should decide to address the Ex-faculty on the subject, and if you are favorably disposed towards the the application may I bespeak your kind influence & interest? With kindest regards Yours Sincerely D. Levy. - Identifier
