Jona Salvador has been known exclusively as the Jewish interlocutor of Richard Simon who urged him to write a Factum defending the Jews of Metz threatened with expulsion or worse after the execution of Raphael Levy (jan. 1670) on the charge of having abducted and killed a Christian child for ritual purposes. An entry in the diary of the journalist and orientalist Eusèbe Renaudot (May 1670) now sheds some more light on Salvador's activity in Paris, and attributes to him the assertion that there were 2000 Jews in the city, much more than any previous estimate had suggested. An anecdote in Simon's Letters choisies suggests that Salvador counted crypto-Jews as Jews, making his assertion to Renaudot more plausible
