Abstract
Jacob Levin Joseph was born in Konigsberg, Prussia, on 6 September 1865, but the city’s name is now no more than a spectre, which rises from the mists of history, for it was renamed Kaliningrad in 1945, when it was ceded to the Soviet Union. Joseph was the youngest of three children, and his father, Israel Joseph, was a Rabbi who naturally brought his offspring up according to the Jewish faith.
