Elizabeth Bland Floruit fl. 1681 1712 was an Englishwoman celebrated for her knowledge of Hebrew. Bland was the daughter and heiress of Robert Fisher, of Long Acre , and was born about the time of the English Restoration Restoration . Her Hebrew teacher is said to have been Francis van Helmont , commonly known as Baron van Helmont. She was married on 26 April 1681 at St. Mary le Savoy to Mr. Nathaniel Bland, then a merchant of London and freeman of the Glovers Company , but who in 1692 succeeded his father, Richard Bland, as lord of the manor of Beeston, Leeds Beeston , near Leeds, Yorkshire, where he thenceforward resided. Of their six children all but two, Joseph and Martha, died in infancy. It appears from Ralph Thoresby s Ducatus Leodiensis that Mrs. Bland was alive in 1712. She is known only by a phylactery in Hebrew written at Thoresby s request for his Mus um Thoresbianum, to which she also presented a Turkish Commission. Dr. Nathaniel Grew describes the phylactery as a scroll of parchment in. broad and 15 in. long, with four sentences of the law Exod. xiii. 7 11, 13 17 Deut. vi. 3 10 and Deut. xi. 13 19 most curiously written upon it in Hebrew. She taught Hebrew to her son and daughter.
