“…They are seen as reflecting the period leading to the Readmission of the Jews to England. As was to be expected, the content has therefore received a great deal of repeated attention for more than a century from a multitude of authors such as the followers of Lucien Wolf (Wolf, 1901;Hyamson, 1903;Abramsky, 1985: 281-295). To understand the significance and novelty of these apparent "reprints" in Ottoman Smyrna, one must therefore construct different standpoints.…”

Four sonnets by Isaac Moron and Daniel de Sylva are printed in the unicum published by Abraham Gabbai at the Kaf Nahat press in Smyrna. To explain the apparently unconventional phenome-non, a historical contextualization of the Sephardi community of the printer and the poets is suggested. The general and communal history of Smyrna at this time, the culture of the consuls and the close relationship of Smyrna Jews with them and with other culturally relevant figures such as travelers or book collectors explains some of the background. Even in Hebrew texts of that time and place one can find samples of a deeper and relatively complex Hispanism than has been understood until now. The analysis of the sonnets reveals their affinity with the Spanish literature of Amsterdam, with the Iberian reception of the classical tradition and with the esthetic, stylistic and intellectual presuppositions current in the Iberian Peninsula of the 17th c.

The Idea of the Restoration of the Jews in English Protestant Thought, 1661–1701

In a previous study, the idea of the Restoration of the Jews to Palestine between the Reformation and 1660 was examined. The result of that survey pointed to some of the causes that led to the emergence and development of that idea in English Protestant thought. Three factors were seen to be instrumental in generating a hitherto novel principle in Christian theology: the military Turko-Catholic threat to Protestant Christendom, the Puritan millenarian speculations between 1640 and 1660, and England's moral responsibility to the Jews. During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the fear of Catholic Turkish military power led theologians to believe that the Jews' conquest of Palestine would necessarily be preceded by victory over Islam and Catholicism. Consequently, they supported this Restoration as a means to their political end. Moreover, they believed that such a Restoration would lead to the fulfillment of the Pauline expectation of the millennial kingdom; the Jews' Restoration to Palestine would inaugurate England's messianic age. Also by concentrating on Romans 11, these English evangelists felt that they owed the Jews a debt which they could repay only by converting them to Christianity and restoring them to Palestine. This became the Englishman's burden of responsibility to the Jews whose rejection of Christ in the first century had allowed the overall salvation of the Gentiles.
