Jacobson and Dodgson met at a dinner party in 1851 and, within a fortnight, Dodgson 'Called on Jacobson, who showed me a facsimile, taken by Fenton in a series of fourteen photographs, of a unique manuscript in the British Museum'. Dodgson later recorded in his diary: 'Went to the first of Jacobson's lectures' for Hilary term (26 February 1856) and 'To the first of Jacobson's private course of lectures on the Prayer-book' (5 May 1857).
