Lea, Henry Charles, 1825-1909.
THE INQUISITION IN THE SPANISH DEPENDENCIES: SICILY--NAPLES--SARDINIA--MILAN--THE CANARIES--MEXICO--PERU--NEW GRANADA
Original Cloth. 8vo. XVI, 564 pages. 23 cm. Second edition. First printed 1908. Drawing on primary source material, Lea gives a detailed account of the workings of the Inquisition and its individual tribunals in Sicily, Naples, Sardinia, Milan, Malta, the Canary Islands, Mexico, Peru, New Granada and the Philippines. According to Lea the Inquisition persisted from the sixteenth right up to the nineteenth century. He demonstrates how some of the individuals entrusted with implementing the Inquisition abused their powers, and how the Inquisition in the Spanish colonies prevented the efficient running of governmental administrations. He focuses on some of the consequences of the Inquisition: Jews were banished from Naples, there were moves to exclude new Christians from the Church in Mexico, and the mysticism practiced in New Granada was considered a grave threat to the Church. Henry Charles Lea (18251909) , U. S. Historian whose research into the history of the Church and its institutions made him one of the most distinguished scholars of the United States. Lea's monumental works, A History of the Inquisition of the Middle Ages (3 vols. , 1888) and A History of the Inquisition of Spain (4 vols. , 190607) , are fundamental and represent an extensive achievement, as did his The Inquisition in the Spanish Dependencies (1908) . Through them, Lea founded a Protestant school for the study of the Inquisition based on archival sources. His system was principally concerned with the study of the general framework of the Inquisition, its policies, and operational methods. He himself considered that these works were the result of his prime interest in the history of sorcery and superstitions in Europe. They have been adapted, abridged, and translated into various languages. In his writings, Lea reserved much sympathy for the question of the forced converts and the Jews, and commented upon the heavy responsibility of the Catholic Church and Spain for their fate. - 2008 EJ.

THE MACCABAEAN STRUGGLE FOR INDEPENDENCE
Original Wrappers. 12mo. 19 pages. 19 cm. First edition. 3 black and white illustrations depicting Judas leadership, 2 black and white contextual maps describing historic borders. Youth oriented pamphlet regarding the biblical history of Judas Maccabeus. Described internally as one of a series of pamphlets on Jewish History, Zionism, and the Jewish Festivals. Founded in 1909 Young Judaea drew its members from Jewish students. The original group was led by Emanuel Neumann. It formulated as its goals the advancement of the cause of Zionism; furthering the mental, moral, and physical development of Jewish youth; and the promotion of Jewish cultural ideas in accordance with Jewish tradition. It was affiliated with the Zionist Organization of America and published a journal, the Young Judaean, originally edited by Henrietta Szold . In 1940 it came under the jurisdiction of the American Zionist Youth Commission, a joint effort of Hadassah and the ZOA and in 1967 became the sole responsibility of Hadassah. The first settlers in Israel from the Young Judaea movement arrived during World War I, among them members of the Jewish Legion . At its peak of membership (1948) Young Judaea had over 30, 000 members, but along with other Zionist groups in the U. S. It suffered a decline in membership following the establishment of the State of Israel. Each year thousands of young people age 818 attend its clubs, conventions, activities, and six summer camps including Tel Yehudah, the movement's senior leadership camp in Barryville, New York. Its Year Course program, founded in 1956, brings more than 400 young people annually to Israel during a "gap year" between high school and college, for a 10-month program of study, community volunteering, and intense engagement with Israeli society. A variety of other programs involve visits to Israel for high school and college students. The Hamagshimim program is for college students up to age 30. In 1973 a group of its members founded kibbutz Keturah in the Aravah. (EJ 2007) Subjects: Judas Maccabeus. Zionism Youth. Young Judaea. OCLC lists 2 copies worldwide. (Natl. Libr.

Lederman Esther, Con La Testimonianza Di Ezjel Lederman
La vita nascosta: Le memorie di una Sopravvissuta
8vo, br. ed. 252pp. Quella del 1939 è un’estate felice per Esther Gutman. I primi amori, la scuola, il pattinaggio… La sua si direbbe un’ordinaria adolescenza a Lódz, la seconda città della Polonia, dove vive con i genitori e la sorella. Ma nel settembre dello stesso anno tutto cambia: con l’invasione nazista le condizioni per gli ebrei diventano sempre più dure. Così il padre, resosi conto che rimanere in città è diventato troppo rischioso, decide di raggiungere il fratello nel suo paese d’origine, Chmielnik. Qui, Esther conosce Ezjel Lederman, un giovane studente sionista dal carattere deciso e integerrimo. Tra loro nasce un’amicizia fatta di passeggiate nel ghetto e di lunghe chiacchierate alla ricerca di una normalità perduta, finché nell’ottobre del 1942 la situazione precipita. Il padre di Esther viene deportato in un campo di lavoro e anche Ezjel deve lasciarla: sta partendo insieme al fratello e ai genitori per rifugiarsi a casa degli Zal, una famiglia di cattolici polacchi. Un’informazione che le salverà la vita. Poco dopo, infatti, Esther decide di cercare aiuto proprio da loro, mentre la madre e la sorella vengono catturate dai nazisti. Non le rivedrà più. A oltre sessant’anni di distanza e dopo un matrimonio felice, Esther sente la necessità di rivivere in questo intenso memoir, arricchito dalle riflessioni del marito Ezjel, i ventidue mesi trascorsi nascosta nella fattoria degli Zal, fino alla liberazione da parte dell’Armata Rossa. E racconta poi di come insieme ai Lederman abbia trovato rifugio proprio in Germania per riuscire, infine, ad approdare avventurosamente negli Stati Uniti. Una storia di fuga e salvezza, narrata con lo sguardo limpido e pieno di speranza di una donna forte, capace di vedere la solidarietà e il coraggio anche in un tempo che non smette di atterrire per la sua tragicità.

1st edition thus. Original paper wrappers. 8vo, 629-648. Contains two articles, Concordat Between the Holy See and Germany (1933) , originally printed in the Australasian Catholic Record, and The Church Under the Swastika (1939) , originally printed in The World Problem. The first article talks about the details of the Concordat, concluding that, "The events of the past five years have not justified the sanguine hopes for the progress of the Church which were entertained by many when the historic agreement was signed by His Eminence Cardinal Eugene Pacelli (who is now Pope Pius XII) and Herr Franz Von Papen as Plenipotentiaries of the Holy See and the German Reich respectively. Nevertheless it would be premature to say that such a historic achievement has come to nought. " (page 673) The second article discusses how the Catholic church is under attack, talking about how Catholic schools are shutting down, "Catholic publications are disappearing one by one, " and "Catholic manifestations, such as pilgrimages and processions, have been completely suppressed, " among other things. It is said, though, "But in spite of all this, it seems that the Church as a whole⦠has not suffered many great losses. " (page 641) Subjects: Church and state -- Germany -- History -- 20th century. National socialism -- Religious aspects. Catholic Church.

The first edition of the first translation of the full Hebrew bible (Old Testament) into English by a Jew. Deinard 847; Singerman 1271; Goldman 12. Vinograd, Philadelphia 21. Very important work, Isaac Leesers magnum opus. In the preface, Leeser here writes of a life-long ambition to do for his fellow Hebrews who use the English as their vernacular, what had been done for the Germans by some of the most eminent minds
That is, to present an Old Testament Bible in the peoples tongue which was unprejudiced against Jews. This task took Rabbi Leeser more than 15 years to complete. The Twenty-Four Books..., has remained Leeser's literary magnum opus and his most lasting contribution to Judaism in America. Printed in 1854, complete with "short explanatory notes, " his efforts at biblical translation had actually developed in stages, beginning almost two decades earlier. Leeser's first biblical translation was The Law of God, a Pentateuch (Five Books of Moses) in five volumes, published in 1845. According to Leesers biographer Lance Sussman, one factor convincing Leeser of the need for a Jewish-translated bible into English was the opening of Rebecca Gratz's Sunday School in March 1838, in Philadelphia. The school was desperately in need of appropriate study material, with students using the King James Bible for want of a Jewish alternative: religiously objectionable passages in other texts provided by Protestant organizations were either pasted over or torn out by Gratz's staff. Leeser, who supported the Sunday School and was its chief academic resource person, felt compelled to find more suitable texts for the students. Leeser's Bible, as it has come to be known, quickly became the standard Bible for English-speaking Jews, especially in America. The impetus for Leeser throughout was always his desire to provide the Jews of America with an English text of the Bible that was produced by one of their own and was not tainted by conversionist motivations. In his preface to the present volume, Leeser characterizes this culmination of his long years of endeavor as having finally provided for his fellow Jews "a version of the Bible which has not been made by the authority of churches in which they have no confidence." Benjamin Franklin Peixotto (18341890), the owner of this bible, was a lawyer, diplomat, and important Jewish communal leader. His mother, Rachel Seixas, and his paternal grandfather, Moses Levi Maduro Peixotto (Hazzan of New York's Congregation Shearith Israel from 1820-1828) were both members of important early New York Jewish families. Young Benjamin settled in Cleveland during 184766, writing frequent editorials for the daily Cleveland Plain Dealer. In 1855, Peixotto and [George A.] Davis founded the Hebrew Benevolent Society; Peixotto was its secretary. In 1863 Peixotto helped found the first Cleveland lodge of B'nai B'rith. In 1860, he founded the Young Men's Hebrew Literary Society, four years later convincing it to affiliate with B'nai B'rith as Montefiore Lodge (Ency Cleveland History, 2020). In addition, Peixotto was a follower of Democratic Senator Stephen A. Douglas of Illinois [Abraham Lincolns famous sparring partner in the Great Debates of 1858], under whose guidance Peixotto studied law. A trustee and founder of the Sunday School at Congregation Tifereth Israel (now The Temple), he served as Grand Sar (president) of B'nai B'rith during 186364 and was the prime mover for its Jewish Orphan Asylum (now Bellefaire) established in Cleveland in 1869
.Early in 1870, moved by the Romanian persecution of Jews, Peixotto succeeded in becoming the first U.S. consul in Bucharest, appointed by President Grant through the intervention of the Seligmans. His financial needs in the unpaid position, as well as political support, were provided, not always reliably, by a group of wealthy U.S. Jews, along with the B'nai B'rith, the Board of Delegates of American Israelites, and prominent French and English Jews led by Sir Francis Goldsmid. In Bucharest Peixotto pressed vigorously for Jewish emancipation, to which Romanian Jews were legally entitled by the Treaty of Paris of 1856, and also took the initiative in founding Jewish schools, cultural societies, and Romanian B'nai B'rith, as part of his plan to modernize Jewish life in that country
.his well-publicized presence inhibited new antisemitic legislation and avoided or mitigated several pogroms
.he continued to endorse emigration privately while serving in Bucharest until 1876. From 1877 to 1885 Peixotto was U.S. consul in Lyons
.His son was George Da Maduro Peixotto (18591937), a painter
.He became a notable portrait painter, executing portraits from life of Cardinal Manning, President McKinley, Chief Justice Waite, and John Hay, among others
.Peixotto's portrait of Sir Moses Montefiore at the latter's centenary in 1884 hung in the Corcoran Gallery, and his painting of [Rabbi] Julius Bien hangs in the National Museum, Washington, D.C. (JewishVirtualLibrary). For more on this work, see: Israel Abrahams, Isaac Leesers Bible," By-Paths in Hebraic Bookland (Philadelphia: The Jewish Publication Society of America, 1920), 254-259.
