Notes
- ↑ “... Under the influence of this invasion, the Karaite community began to gradually melt. The last blow was dealt to her by a man known in the history of Polish Jews under the name of Mikhail Ezofovich Senior. This was the first Esofovich, whose name came out of the darkness of obscurity. His family, settled in Poland indefinitely, was one of those who, under the laws and customs, formed under the influence of a very high level of education in Poland at that time, made friendly ties with the local population. The king, or senior over all Jews of Lithuania and Belarus, was named by his king Sigismund ”// Meir Esofovich Eliza Orzeszko
