| | JewishEncyclopedia.com - BARNETT, JACOB: |
 | | When Isaac Casaubon visited the university in 1613, he was much struck by Barnett's abilities, and, in order to perfect his own knowledge of Hebrew, carried him off to London. |
 | | On the appointed day, however, Barnett was not to be found; and the preacher of the special sermon delivered one instead on Jewish perfidy. |
 | | Barnett was discovered and put in prison, but on Casaubon's entreaty was released, and banished from the kingdom Nov. 16, 1613. |
