MENASSEH BEN ISRAEL - The hope of Israel. The English translation by Moses Wall, 1652. Edited, with introduction and notes by Henry Méchoulan and Gérard Nahon. Introduction and notes translated from the French by Richenda George.

London, 1987. XI, 195 pp. and 1 map. Very good copy. Orig. cloth with dustjacket. Original title: Esperenca de Israel (1650). When The Hope of Israel was translated into English in 1652, its argument from Scripture that messianic redemption would not come to the Jewish people until they were scattered in all the corners of the Earth aroused great interest and played an instrumental part in the discussions in the Commonwealth under Cromwell which eventually led to the readmission of the Jews in 1656. This edition of that English text includes an introduction and notes which place the work in the intellectual context of its time. ISBN: 9780197100547
