Anglo-Jewish history, but it is not improbable that the Damascus
trials in 1840 produced a serious effect in retarding the progress
of the struggle for emancipation. On the Continent, and in the
Levant, it has frequently reappeared during the last thirty years.
P. 109, l. 8. “In Iad a Razaka.” Misprint for _Yad Hachazaka_ (“The
Strong Hand”), also called _Mishneh Torah_, an exposition of Jewish
law by Moses Maimonides, written (in Hebrew) 1170–1180.
P. 111, l. 7. “_A particular blessing of the Prince or Magistrate._”
See note, _supra_, p. 163.
P. 112, l. 16. “_And every day the Jewes mainly strike._” The belief
that Jews habitually desecrated the sacramental wafer runs parallel
with the Blood Accusation. A curious echo of it was heard in 1822,
and the published account of the case was illustrated by George
Cruikshank (“The Miraculous Host tortured by the Jews,” Lond.,
1822).
P. 114, l. 4. “_Wherefore I swear._” This oath is famous in Jewish
history, and has been over and over again quoted and reiterated on
occasions of the revival of the Blood Accusation (see _e.g._ _Trans.
Jew. Hist. Soc._, vol. i. p. 38).
P. 114, l. 20. “_John Hoornbeek in that book which he lately writ._”
The work referred to is _De Convertendis Judæis_, 1655.
P. 115, l. 28. “_In my continuation of Flavius Josephus._” In the
“Hope of Israel” (_supra_, p. 7), Menasseh announced his intention
of writing this work. From this passage it seems that he had now
completed it, and that he had the MS. with him in London. It was
never printed, as none of it has survived. It is curious that
Menasseh does not mention it among his “Books ready for the Presse,”
of which he gave a list at the end of the _Vindiciæ_ (see p. 147).
P. 116, l. 13. “_One Isaac Jeshurun._” An account of his persecution
was written in Hebrew by Aaron de David Cohen of Ragusa, and
translated into Spanish under the title, _Memorable relacion de
Yshac Jesurun_. The work is in MS.; a copy was in the Almanzi
Library.
P. 118, l. 30. “_That our nation had purchased S. Paul’s Church._” See
Introduction, p. xli.
P. 118, l. 34. “_A fabulous narrative._” Brett, “A Narrative of the
Proceedings of a Great Councel of Jews assembled on the plain of
Ageda” (Lond., 1655; reprinted in “The Phœnix,” 1707, the “Harleian
Miscellany,” vol i., 1813, and in pamphlet form by Longmans & Co.,
1876).
P. 121, l. 27. “_The book called Scebet Iehuda_,” ספר שבת יהודה, by
Solomon Aben Verga, a Jewish chronicle of the sixteenth century. See
German translation by Wiener (Hanover, 1856). The story related by
Menasseh ben Israel will be found on pp. 77–78. It is not told of a
“King of Portugal,” but of a King of Spain.
P. 121, l. 32. “_Before one of the Popes, at a full Councell._” For
Papal Bulls on the Blood Accusation see “Die Blutbeschuldigung gegen
die Juden von Christlicher Seite beurtheilt,” Zweite Auflage
(Vienna, 1883). Strack’s “Blutaberglaube” (several editions) is the
classical work on the subject.
THE SECOND SECTION
P. 124, l. 16. “_The Israelites hold._” This paragraph is a summary of
the Thirteen Articles of Faith first drawn up by Moses Maimonides in
1168, and now incorporated in the Synagogue liturgy. Menasseh’s
summary, though admirably succinct, is not altogether perfect, and
was apparently drafted with a view to the susceptibilities of the
English Conversionists. A full translation of the thirteen creeds
had, however, already appeared in England (see Chilmead’s
translation of Leo Modena’s “The History of the Rites, Customes, and
Manner of Life of the Present Jews,” Lond., 1650, pp. 246–249).
P. 124, l. 28. “_A French book which he calleth the Rappel of the
Jewes_,” Iaac la Peyrère “Rappel des Juifs.”
THE THIRD SECTION
The subject matter of this section, the alleged cursing of Gentiles, is,
like the Blood Accusation, an obstinate delusion of the anti-Semites. It
is the burden of a very voluminous literature. See, among recent
publications, Jellinek, “Der Talmudjude” (Vienna, 1882); Daab, “Der
Thalmud” (Leipzig, 1883); Hirsch, “Über die Beziehung des Talmuds zum
Judenthum” (Frankfort, 1884); and Hoffmann, “Der Schulchan Aruch und die
Rabbinen über das Verhältniss der Juden zu Andersgläubigen” (Berlin,
1885).
P. 127, l. 31. “_Prayers for Kings and Princes._” See note, _supra_,
p. 163.
P. 128, l. 6. “_The form of prayer in the book entitled The Humble
Addresses_,” _supra_, p. 92.
P. 133, l. 25. “_Wise and vertuous Lady Beruria._” The most famous of
the women mentioned in the Talmud. She was the daughter of Rabbi
Chanina ben Tradjon, and wife of Rabbi Meir (Kayserling, “Jüdischen
Frauen,” pp. 120–124).
P. 133, l. 26. “_R. Meir._” A distinguished pupil of the great Rabbi
Akiba, and one of the most famous of the authors of the Talmud. He
lived in the second century (Levy, “Un Tanah,” Paris, 1883;
Blumenthal, “Rabbi Meir,” Frankfurt, 1888).
THE FOURTH SECTION
P. 134, l. 14. “_Buxtorphius._” Johann Buxtorf the Elder (1564–1629),
the greatest Christian Hebraist of his day. Professor of Hebrew at
Basle.
P. 136, l. 22. “_R. David Gawz._” David Gans (1541–1631), a Jewish
chronicler, mathematician, and astronomer, author of _Zemach David_.
He lived in Prague, and was a friend of Tycho Brahe and Keppler
(Klemperer, “David Gans’s Chronikartige Weltgeschichte,” Prague,
1890).
P. 136, l. 25. “_Antonius Margarita._” His name was Aaron Margalita.
He was an ignorant Polish Jew, who became converted to Christianity
and placed his services at the disposal of the Jew-haters (Graetz,
“Geschichte,” vol. x. pp. 313–314).
THE FIFTH SECTION
P. 137, l. 18. “_I have held friendship with many great men._”
Menasseh’s circle of Christian friends was large and distinguished.
His intimacy with Rembrandt has already been referred to (_supra_,
pp. 149–150). Among his other friends were Hugo Grotius, the learned
family of Vossius, Episcopius, Vorstius, Meursius, Cunæus, Blondel,
Chr. Arnold, Bochart, Huet, Sobierre, Felgenhauer, Frankenberg,
Mochinger, and Caspar Barlæus.
P. 137, l. 23. “_Many verses in my commendations._” The poem by
Barlæus here referred to was prefixed to Menasseh’s treatise “De
Creatione” (Amsterdam, 1636), together with congratulatory sonnets
by Himanuel Nehamias, Mosseh Pinto, Jona Abravanel, and Daniel
Abravanel. It ran as follows:—
EPIGRAMMA,
IN
PROBLEMATA
_Clarissimi viri_ Manassis Ben-Israel,
DE CREATIONE.
Qvæ cœlos terrasq́; manus, spatiosaq́; Nerei
Æquora, & immẽsas, quas habet orbis opes,
Condiderit, mersuniq́; alta caligine mundum
Iusserit imperijs ilicet esse suis:
Disserit Isacides. Et facta ingentia pandit;
Et nondum exhaustum contrahit arte Deum.
Hîc atavos patresq́; suos & verba recenset,
Sensaq́; Thalmudicæ relligiosa Scholæ.
Vera placẽt, placet egregijs conatibus author,
Et pietas fidei disparis ista placet.
Cunctorum est coluisse Deum. Non unius æví,
Non populi unius credimus, esse pium.
Si sapimus diversa, Deo vivamus amici,
Doctaq́; mens precio constet ubiq́; suo.
Hæc fidei vox summa meæ est. Hæc crede _Menasse_.
Sic ego Christiades, sic eris Abramides.
C. BARLÆVS.
THE SEVENTH SECTION
P. 144, l. 37. “_Wherefore those few Jewes that were here, despairing
of our expected successe departed hence._” This can only refer to
Menasseh’s companions on his mission. With two exceptions all the
Marranos in London at the time of Menasseh’s arrival remained in the
country.
P. 145, l. 34. “_From my study in London._” See _Trans. Jew. Hist.
Soc._, vol. iii. pp. 144–150.
