Page [5] contains "Advertisement to the English edition" which states this is "a translation from the original rabbinical Hebrew of Joseph Acosta, a Jew of Amsterdam ..." This is probably a corruption of Da Costa. Joseph da Costa of Amsterdam, fl. 1726, was similarly known as Acosta.

National Union Catalog, apparently in error, gives the author's date as "fl. 1726." The content of the work refers to the period of the Napoleonic wars.
