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

MENDES-FLOHR, PAUL

German Jews: A Dual Identity

New Haven, Yale University Press, 1999. 149 pp. Fine copy. Hardcover with dustjacket. When the German-Jewish philosopher Franz Rosenzweig entitled his 1926 collection of essays on Jewish and universal cultural topics Zweistromland -- a land of two rivers -- he meant to underscore, indeed celebrate, the fact that German-Jewish culture is nurtured by both German culture and the Jewish religious and cultural heritage. In this thought-provoking book, Paul Mendes-Flohr explores through the prism of Rosenzweig's image how German Jews have understood and contended with their twofold spiritual patrimony. He deepens the discussion to consider also how the German-Jewish experience bears upon the general modern experience of living with multiple cultural identities.German Jews assimilated the cultural values of Germany but were not themselves assimilated into German society, Mendes-Flohr contends. Yet, by virtue of their adoption of values sponsored by enlightened German discourse, they were no longer unambiguously Jewish. The author discusses how their identity and cultural loyalty became fractured and how German Jews -- dike other Jews and indeed like all denizens of the modern world -- were obliged to confront the challenges of living with plural identities and cultural affiliations.
