Moses Mendez

It has been suggested that he wrote the anonymous texts for Handel's dramatic English oratorios Solomon and Susanna.

He wrote numerous poems and stage pieces, including the libretti for ballad operas including The Double Disappointment and The Chaplet, produced at leading London theatres Covent Garden and Drury Lane in the 1740s.

[3] He also wrote the text for the 1750 ballad opera Robin Hood with music by Charles Burney.

It has recently been suggested that Moses Mendez wrote the unattributed texts for Handel's oratorios Susanna and Solomon, both of which had their first performances in 1749.

His grandson was Sir Francis Bond Head, son of James Roper.
