Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Auto De Fé and Jew In the following chapters the writer has attempted to sketch the effect of the Inquisition in Spain and Portugal, more particularly in regard to the Crypto-Jews who came within its purview, and to collect data as to its outward expression, as evinced in the auto de fé. Lists have been compiled which set forth in chronological order the various autos which took place in Spain and Portugal and their American and Indian colonies since the establishment of the Holy Office, under Ferdinand and Isabella, until its final abolition, early in the nineteenth century. Though necessarily incomplete, these lists comprise nearly 2,000 autos de fé - a number far in excess of anything hitherto recorded - and they will serve, in some measure, as a reliable indication of inquisitional activity. It was at first contemplated to restrict the lists to such autos only as were known to have penanced Jews, but, as the manuscript and printed material accumulated, it was felt that the compilation would be more useful if it were made as complete as possible. Mohammedan, Lutheran, Philosopher, Mystic, and Freemason were, in turn, the peculiar objects of the heretic baiters, but there was no interval of any appreciable length during which there were not some Judaizers deemed worthy of punishment and persecution. Still it must not be assumed that at every auto de fé a Jew was butchered. Lea, the historian of the Inquisition, has in his epoch-making works thrown new light on the subject he has made bis own. Chapters IX to XXXVI are devoted to an examination, and partly a precis, of what he has written. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Inquisition and Judaism: A Sermon Addressed to Jewish Martyrs, on the Occasion of an Auto Da Fe at Lisbon, 1705 On enquiring into the true motives that can possi bly induce Israelites to renounce the faith Of their fathers, we cannot divest ourselves of the suspicion that a craving for mundane honors, and an unruly ambition upon which religious sentiment holds no check, may have great weight with some men, and may lead them to prefer the momentary gratification wh ch the parade and circumstance of power confers, to the favor of the Supreme Being and the approbation of conscience. To attempt to argue with such un principled men, if such there be, would be utterly hopeless for little can the words of mortals avail with persons who are deaf to the voice of God and reckless Of their eternal bliss. Others, again, there are, whose abject poverty ren ders them Obnoxious to the pecuniary bait held out by the wily agents of the Society. We are hardly prepared to suggest a remedy in this case, indisposed as we are to attempt to bind men to their creed by mere worldly considerations: yet would we venture to urge on the consideration of the more Opulent bers of our community, the absolute necessity of taking a deep and lively interest in the condition of their poorer brethren, of ascertaining their mental and physical wants, and of endeavouring to protect them.

Download or read book Jewish Mythology Or the Coming of the Messiah Classic Reprint written by Thomas Frederick Page and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-08-30 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Jewish Mythology, or the Coming of the Messiah Letter-signs were understood to be astronomically significant; which meant that the history of individuals and nations was written in the heavens, and that the fulfilment was all experienced on time, as those letter-signs came to earth by divisions of time, and applied to names of things on the surface of the earth. Letters, and figures designating numbers, were understood as having bearings on the heavens by law of quadrature. This gave all points of the compass and gravitation. On these bear ings, all letters, syllables, words, and compounds had, first, an earthly meaning which bear on their bodily lives. Then, by vowels and division by puns, the same vocal music accompanied them on as souls into the realms of the future, where the same signs were used but the pronunciation lost to earthly articulation. This arrangement of language in space, with the bearings given, was the Temple of the Jews. T ms was the way it was built without the sound of hammer. This temple was destroyed again and again, as the people of the Jewish nation refused to accept it, or, through ignorance, could not see anything in it. The man who built the temple for the Jews was understood to be the Messiah, without any regard to his name. The names were different at different epochs of time, because the heavenly sheet of sign arrangement, slowly revolving all the time, brought it about.

Download or read book Mordecai M Noah s Discourse on the Restoration of the Jews written by Mordecai M. Noah and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-27 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mordecai M. Noah's Discourse on the Restoration of the Jews: Republished in Extract With an Introductory Note Russia, with a steady glance and firm step, approaches Turkey in Europe, and when her railroads are completed to the Black Sea, will pour in her Cossacks from the Don and the Vistula, and Constantinople will be occupied by the descendants of the Tartar dynasty, and all Turkey in Europe, united to Greece, will con stitute either an independent empire, or be occupied by Russia who, with one arm on the Mediterranean, and the other on the North Sea, will nearly embrace all Europe. The counterbalance of this gigantic power will be a firm and liberal union of Austria with all Italy and the Roman States, down to the borders of Gaul: but the revolution will not end here. England must pos sess Egypt, as affording the only secure route to her possessions in India through the Red Sea; then Palestine, thus placed be tween the Russian possessions and Egypt, reverts to its legitimate proprietors, and for the safety of the surrounding nations, a powerful, wealthy, independent and enterprising people are placed there by and with the consent of the Christian powers, and with their aid and agency the land of Israel passes once more into the possession of the descendants of Abraham. The ports of the Mediterranean will be again opened to the busy hum of commerce; the fields will again bear the fruitful harvest, and the Christian and Jew will together, on Mount Zion, raise their voices in praise of Him whose covenant with Abraham was to en dure forever, and in whose seed all the nations of the earth are to be blessed. This is our destiny. Every attempt to colonize the Jews in other countries has failed; their eye has steadily rested on their own beloved Jerusalem, and they have said, The time will come, the promise will be fulfilled.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this completely updated edition of Henry Kamen's classic survey of the Spanish Inquisition, the author incorporates the latest research in multiple languages to offer a new-and thought-provoking-view of this fascinating period. Kamen sets the notorious Christian tribunal into the broader context of Islamic and Jewish culture in the Mediterranean, reassesses its consequences for Jewish culture, measures its impact on Spain's intellectual life, and firmly rebuts a variety of myths and exaggerations that have distorted understandings of the Inquisition. He concludes with disturbing reflections on the impact of state security organizations in our own time"--
Download or read book The Inquisition and Judaism written by Carlos Vero and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-13 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Inquisition and Judaism: A Sermon Addressed to Jewish Martyrs, on the Occasion of an Auto Da Fe at Lisbon, 1705 In the following pages will be found a Sermon delivered by the Archbishop of Cranganor to a number of Israelites, hapless victims of the Inquisition, preparatory to the unhallowed celebration of an Auto da Fe. Of the unfortunate beings compelled to listen to the archbishop, a majority were under sentence of making their selection between Apostasy and Death, and one amongst the number, having offended a second time against the Inquisition, is, agreeably to all inference, irrevocably condemned to perish by the flames. And yet it is before such defenceless creatures, whose tongues are bridled, that the prelate affects a vast display of erudition; it is such unhappy men whom he assails with a verbose and diffuse harangue, professing to enter into a free and fair discussion on the merits of the respective creeds of Judaism and Christianity! Such a flagrant outrage on the unalienable rights of conscience - such a solemn farce, enacted in the name, and under the assumed sanction of the God of mercy and love - cannot fail to awaken in every humane and thinking mind sentiments of abhorrence and disgust.

This book was released on 2021-12-30 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores several notable themes related to social, political, and religious movements in Latin America and offers insightful historical perspectives to understand national, regional, and global issues from the beginning of the twentieth century to the present day. This volume’s collected chapters focus on the Latin American society and are divided into three sections. The first section, Social, presents some cultural, demographic, and urban changes that have occurred with increasing frequency in Latin America from the early twentieth century onward. The second section, Political, shows migratory, political, and identity movements that in recent decades have re-emerged with force. Finally, the third section, Religious, analyzes various Latin American religious visions with their particular characteristics. From the religious hegemony of Catholicism, a change in the religious panorama in the last decades can be seen intermingled with politics, history, and society.

Download or read book The Blood Libel Legend written by Alan Dundes and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 1991-10-15 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alan Dundes, in this casebook of an anti-Semitic legend, demonstrates the power of folklore to influence thought and history. According to the blood libel legend, Jews murdered Christian infants to obtain blood to make matzah. Dundes has gathered here the work of leading scholars who examine the varied sources and elaborations of the legend. Collectively, their essays constitute a forceful statement against this false accusation. The legend is traced from the murder of William of Norwich in 1144, one of the first reported cases of ritualized murder attributed to Jews, through nineteenth-century Egyptian reports, Spanish examples, Catholic periodicals, modern English instances, and twentieth-century American cases. The essays deal not only with historical cases and surveys of blood libel in different locales, but also with literary renditions of the legend, including the ballad “Sir Hugh, or, the Jew’s Daughter” and Chaucer’s “The Prioress’s Tale.” These case studies provide a comprehensive view of the complex nature of the blood libel legend. The concluding section of the volume includes an analysis of the legend that focuses on Christian misunderstanding of the Jewish feast of Purim and the child abuse component of the legend and that attempts to bring psychoanalytic theory to bear on the content of the blood libel legend. The final essay by Alan Dundes takes a distinctly folkloristic approach, examining the legend as part of the belief system that Christians developed about Jews. This study of the blood libel legend will interest folklorists, scholars of Catholicism and Judaism, and many general readers, for it is both the literature and the history of anti-Semitism.

Download or read book The Inveterate Dreamer written by Ilan Stavans and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not only do "modern" Jewish languages like Yiddish and Hebrew have their own Jewish writers, but every major Western tongue?from German and Russian to English and Portuguese?does as well. These writers are often at the crossroad between the two traditions: their Jewish one and their own national one. Is there such a thing as a modern Jewish literary tradition, one navigating across linguistic and national lines? If so, how should one define it? Ilan Stavans is uniquely qualified to answer these questions and to comment on the power and challenges of cultural margins and literary crossings. He has been at the forefront of an appreciation of the Jewish literary tradition that is less asphyxiating, more global. His reflections on Jewish Latin America have won him the nickname "pathfinder." This incomparable volume showcases Stavans's most insightful and provocative?and at times controversial?observations on transnational Jewish culture and literature. Stavans explores the problems and prospects of representing Jewish experiences through such media as Holocaust memoirs and Jewish museums; astutely comments on well-known intellectual figures, including Lionel Trilling, Isaac Babel, Primo Levi, Harold Bloom, and Walter Benjamin; engages in memorable conversations with Norman Manea, Joseph Brodsky, and Ariel Dorfman; and offers compelling glimpses of revelatory moments in his own life.
