Along with his ecclesiastical duties Anthimos was also a scholar known particularly for his facility with languages. “Anthimos became well known as a fervent defender of Orthodoxy against Catholic proselytism which at that time was very active in Palestine. It was then that he composed first in Greek and then in Arabic his ‘Theological Treatise’ and ‘Interpretation of the Psalms.’ Having had them published in Vienna in 1791 – 92 he distributed thousands of copies of these works among the Arab Christians of the region. At the same time he enjoyed friendly relations with Sultan Selim III 1789-1807 who supported him in consolidating Orthodox rights in the Holy Land.“ Today this important Arabic book on Orthodox Christianity is very rarely seen.

1947ref. 383071947. JUDAICAÑZIONISM. Kriath Kodesh Call to Yeshiva Students. Jerusalem: Kislev 1947-48. Broadside measures 10 by 13-1/2 inches printed on recto. $1800.1947 Jerusalem Orthodox broadside against Òthe Zionists who wish to uproot the TorahÓ illustrative of the conflicts among Zionists and other factions in Jerusalem just prior to the creation of the state of Israel.This broadside states that it is the scholars of Torah who are the Neturei Karta Òthe protectors of the city.Ó ÒThe forces which were contending over the nature of the new society were divided into three broad groupsÉ Socialist Zionists known as the HistadrutÉ middle-class elements anti-Socialist RevisionistsÉ and the Orthodox who could not imagine a Jewish presence in the land which did not exemplify the values and practices of the religious traditionÓ Encyclopaedia Judaica. These three factions came to maturity as the Zionist settlement in Palestine increased tenfold from roughly 60000 in 1919 to 600000 in the 1940s. This broadside goes on to claim ÒWhomever has any relationship with the Zionists-even enlisting in the Haganah-becomes a partner in actions against Judaism.Ó ÒOrthodox elements were dedicated to the building of an institutional power base for religious Jews so that they could compete as equals with the other groups and provide equal opportunity in the new country for those who shared the Orthodox religious faith. This body of opinion was deeply concerned that the total temper of the Jewish community should not be secularized. They did not want to become a religious ghetto in a non-religious Jewish society and they believed that it was their duty to bring religion even to those who opposed itÉ The struggle between the Socialist and the middle-class elements in IsraelÕs society has been muted in the generation of statehood for a mixed economy now prevails. The conflict over religion and its relationship to public life has if anything become sharper within the sovereign parliamentary life of the Jewish stateÓ Encyclopaedia Judaica. Text in Hebrew.
