The original text
Based on the story of "Rebecca" in Sir Walter Scott's famous novel Ivanhoe, Mosenthal's version was first performed in Vienna in 1849.

Besides many other theatrical works based on Ivanhoe, there were a number of English versions of Mosenthal's play.
Leah, the Forsaken by Augustin Daly ()[] was the first English version. Originally performed in New York in 1862, followed by a run in the Adelphi Theatre, London during 1863-4, it became immensely popular. (Also found as Leah the Forsaken, or The Jewish Maiden's Wrongs or simply Leah).
