29. Sha'agat 'Arye. 1746.

The book Sha'agat 'Arye contains the earliest mentioning of the Copenhagen congregation, in a Hebrew book printed outside Denmark. It mentions how a Jewish expedition went off to Marstrand north of Gothenburg in connection with a shipwreck on the Swedish coast.

The book is part of professor and chief rabbi David Simonsen's (1853-1932) large collection of manuscripts and books in Hebrew, Yiddish, Arabic and several western languages acquired by The Royal Library in 1932 and forms the basis of the Judaica Collection. David Simonsen himself put great store by this book.
