Menahem Mann Ben Solomon ha-Levi Amelander was a Dutch-Jewish author and historian of the 18th century. He died before 1767.[1]

Life

His 1743 Old Yiddish chronicle, Sheyris Yisroel (Remnant of Israel) is a continuation of his Yiddish translation of Josippon with a general history of the Jews in the diaspora until 1740.[2][3] [4] He also drew on the history of Jacques Basnage.[5] Max Erik and Israel Zinberg considered it the foremost representative of its genre.[6] It was cited by Abraham Trebitsch with his Qorot ha-'Ittim and Abraham Chaim Braatbard with his Ayn Naye Kornayk.[7] Zinberg called it "the most important work of Old Yiddish historiographical literature".[8]
