The Gazeta de Amsterdam was printed by David de Castro Tartas, in that city, not regularly, from 1672 to 1702. This is considered the first Jewish newspaper, although it has no particular Jewish content and was published in Spanish. It was written for Jews involved in international trade, providing information about political events, and was based on information collated from Dutch newspapers.
