Additional Details



Second edition of John Peter Stehelin's 1732-34 translation of Eisenmenger's 1700 Entdecktes Judentum, a massive denunciation of Judaism based on selective and often distorted citations from rabbinic sources, " . . . which had a formative influence on modern anti-Semitic polemics" (EJ).
