Show moreA response to Isaac Jacquelot (1647-1708), a Protestant theologian, whose Dissertation, published in 1699, aimed to prove to the Jews that Jesus was the Messiah promised in the Old Testament. The present work is divided into six parts. Vol. 1: general introduction; vols. 2-3: essays on the necessity of religion, the history of the Inquisition and the power of the Church, a refutation of Augustinian doctrines on the acceptable uses of terror and violence to advance Christianity; vol. 4: a letter to Jacquelot summarizing the argument; vol. 5: an appeal to God for judgment in the dispute; vol. 6: summary of the entire work and quotations from contemporary authors supporting the author's argument. Written in Spanish in a cursive hand, 42 lines, each title within architectural columns painted with floral borders; some marginal foxing and browning throughout; contemporary mottled calf, gold stamped with arabesque ornaments along borders and gold-stamped royal supralibros. Abraham Gómez Silveira (1656-1741), a Marrano, was one of the most prolific writers of the western Sephardic diaspora. Born in Avila, Spain, he moved to France and then to Amsterdam where he embraced Judaism and joined the local Sephardic community. He published seven sermons in Spanish, and was recognized as a gifted poet and an original thinker. His works are valuable for the intellectual history of the western Sephardim, the history of the Marranos and the Spanish Inquisition. This is the only known complete copy of this unpublished work.
