The Tradition of The Jews

by Johann Andreas Eisenmenger

A facsimile reprint of the long out-of-print 1748 classic (printed in old-fashioned type script), with a lengthy new introductory essay, Eisenmenger: Father of the European Enlightenment, by Michael A. Hoffman II. Also includes a comprehensive, annotated bibliography.

In 1700, after nineteen years of study and research including with leading rabbis in Frankfurt and Amsterdam, Johann Andreas Eisenmenger, Professor of Hebrew and Aramaic at the University of Heidelberg, publishedEntdecktes Judenthum(Judaism Revealed). The entire stock of the book was almost immediately seized by order of the Holy Roman Emperor. Beginning in 1732, portions of this banned book were translated into English and published in London as The Traditions of the Jews.

For the first time in more than 250 years, Independent History and Research has brought the English version of Eisenmenger's suppressed masterwork, one of the rarest books in the world, back into print, in a limited edition of 2,000 copies, in a high-quality, durable paperback.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Entdecktes Judenthum is the most malignant attack that Judaism has ever sustained. --Rev. Isidore Harris --The Thinker: A Review of Worldwide Christian Thought, p. 498.

Fate decreed that a certain Christian writer, Johann Andreas Eisenmenger, should have arisen...and concentrated the tradition of medieval anti-Jewish doctrines in his great work...His book was impressive on account of its size...and its tremendous erudition. Eisenmenger was well-versed in Hebrew, Aramaic and Arabic...In short, Eisenmenger was acquainted with all the literature a Jewish scholar of standing would have known. He had learned to use these books partly through contacts with Jewish scholars in Frankfort and Amsterdam...However, Eisenmenger surpassed his predecessors in his mastery of the sources and his ability to interpret them...Jacob Katz, From Prejudice to Destruction: Anti-Semitism, 1[zasłonięte]700-19

Christian scholars used their immense, sometimes phenomenal learning to warn their brethren about the rising Jewish peril...as a whole, Wagenseil's collection was not comparable to the revelations in the volumes of Johann Andreas Eisenmenger...one of the most persistent gatherers of anti-Christian texts... --Frank Manuel --The Broken Staff: Judaism Through Christian Eyes
