David Henriques de Castro, author of the famous "Keur van grafstenen", is celebrated in a centenary exhibition at the Jewish Historical Museum in Amsterdam, focusing on the man both as a collector and as a researcher of Sephardic tombstones. His monumental work on the Portuguese Jewish Cemetery at Ouderkerk aan de Amstel, published by Brill (Leiden) in 1883, is photographically reproduced in this re-edition of his classic survey of the 17th- and 18th-century tombstones that mark the graves of the leading figures of Amsterdam's Sephardic community, together with:

• an English translation of de Castro's historical commentary, including descriptions of six additional tombstones
• additional photographs, more than a century old, similarly revealing details which can now no longer be seen
• an introductory article on de Castro's research by Jullie-Marthe Cohen of the Jewish Historical Museum
• a selected bibliography on the Portuguese Jewish Cemetery at Ouderkerk aan de Amstel and other affiliated Sephardic burial grounds, by F.J.Hoogewoud of the Bibliotheca Rosenthaliana and Dr. Falk Wiesemann of the Heinrich Heine University of Dusseldorf.
