Biography

Isaac (d'Israeli) Disraeli is Notable.

Isaac (d'Israeli) Disraeli has Jewish Roots.

Isaac D'Israeli was a British writer, scholar and man of letters. He is best known for his essays, his associations with other men of letters, and as the father of British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli.^[1] the only son ofBenjamin d'Israeli, a Jewish merchant who had emigrated from Cento, Italy in 1748, and his second wife, Sarah Villa Real. Isaac received much of his education in Leiden. At the age of 16, he began his literary career with some verses addressed to Samuel Johnson. He became a frequent guest at the table of the publisher John Murray and became one of the noted bibliophiles of the time.^[2] Isaac married Maria Basevi on February 10, 1802 at the Bevis Marks Synagogue, London. They established their home at 6 King’s Road (now no. 22 Theobald’s Road) Bloomsbury, London, their children were all born there. The family moved to Bloomsbury Square in 1817.

Name Change

The spelling of the name at birth for all family members of the Earl of Beaconsfield's generation and before, was apparently d'Israeli. There seems to be some debate about when the spelling changed to 'Disraeli', the Wikipedia entry claiming that it was in 1822 when Benjamin Disraeli was an articled clerk, whilst Robert Blake in his biography states that it was changed for him by his father prior to attending school. Nonetheless, it seems likely that he and his siblings would initially have been known as d'Israeli as would all members of the previous two generations.

Isaac was born in Enfield, Middlesex, England,^[3]He died in Bradenham, Buckingham and is buried there in St. Botolph's Churchyard.^[4]
