A record of 1,818 circumcisions performed by Rabbi Prins between 1855 and 1889. Each listing, consisting of name, date, and place, is meticulously recorded in his neat hand.
Eliezer Liepman Philip Prins (1835-1915) was an Amsterdam businessman, bibliophile and scholar, as well as an active mohel. In 1887 he retired and moved to Frankfurt, where he devoted himself to scholarship full time. He corresponded with many of the great Jewish scholars of the day, and published valuable scholarly works on Talmud and the liturgy.
