Isaac Nieto
was born in 1702 and
died in 1774.141
The following is an abstract
from the online Jewish Encyclopaedia
Haham of the Portuguese congregation Sha'are Shamaim, Bevis Marks, London;
born 1702; died at London 1774; son of David Nieto <view.jsp?artid=282&letter=N>.
He was officially appointed as " akam ha-shalem" in 1733, but gave
up the post in 1741 and went abroad. He returned in 1747 and took up the profession
of notary. In 1751 the congregation requested him to accept the post of ab bet
din, his colleagues being Isaac de Valle and Jacob Coronel. A few years afterward
a violent dispute arose with regard to the titles of the members of the bet din
and as to the relation of the members to one another. Nieto wrote a letter of
resignation March 17, 1757, and on July 14 following he was prohibited from exercising
the functions of assessor.
Nieto preached on Feb. 6, 1756, the day of fast and penitence ordered by the
king, a "Sermon Moral," published in Spanish and English in London,
1756. Better known is his translation of the prayer-book in two volumes: "Orden
de las Oraciones de Ros Ashanah y Kipur" (London, 1740) and "Orden
de las Oraciones Cotidianas, Ros Hodes Hanuca y Purim" (ib. 1771). This
translation was the basis of all subsequent translations (e.g., those of Pinto
and of A. and D. da Sola).
