Description

Therese Albertine Luise von Jakob Robinson (January 26, 1797–April 13, 1870) was a German-American author, linguist and translator, and second wife of biblical scholar Edward Robinson.

Her account of this visit was published in Westermann’s Jahrbuch der illustrirten deutschen Monatshefte [Westermann’s Yearbook of Illustrated German Monthly Journals] no. 48 (1860): 587-91. Robinson’s account has been translated by Ariel Godwin with assistance from Joscelyn Godwin.
