In a manuscript where Newton discussed aspects of the Temple in Jerusalem, we can see here where he actually writes in Hebrew in addition to English and Latin:

At the time I used an image host that no longer exists, so my picture of Newton's Hebrew handwriting (in this case, while discussing Maimonides) was lost. (I cannot edit posts more than 5000 posts ago, due to a strange Blogger glitch, so I am missing many old images.)

So here again is Isaac Newton's writing:

His vowelization of the Talmudic phrase which is today pronounced as "Tah Sh'ma" as "Tay Shayma" is interesting too.
