Excerpt from Descriptive Catalogue of a Collection of Objects, of Jewish Ceremonial Deposited in the U. S. National Museum by Hadji Ephraim Benguiat
Had]l Ephraim Benguiat, the owner of the collection here described, is the descendant of an illustrious Spanish Jewish family which traces its origin as far back as the beginning of the eleventh century. Many members of the family have distinguished themselves in Biblical and rabbinical learning, in philosophy and letters. The love for religious art has been a tradition in the family, and many of the objects of the collection are family heirlooms.
