Abraham Coster (1575–1620)[1] was a Dutch anti-Jewish preacher who lived at Amsterdam in the seventeenth century.
He wrote Histoire der Joden, a three-part history of the Jews from their dispersion to the author's time,[2] first published in 1608.[3] In this history he described the manners, customs, and fables of the exiles, with the purpose of influencing the authorities to prevent the Jews of Amsterdam from building a new synagogue.[4]
