Maftehot. <br> <br> Novellae to Maimonides of the laws pertaining to women i.e. divorce relationships and marriage by Rabbi Jonathan ben Nathan Nata Eybeschutz 1690/95-1764 the talmudist kabbalist and child prodigy. In his youth after the death of his father he studied in Prossnitz under Rabbi Meir Eisenstadt and Rabbi Eliezer ha-Levi Ettinger his uncle and in Vienna under Rabbi Samson Wertheimer. He married the daughter of Rabbi Isaac Spira the av bet din of Bunzlau. After traveling for some time he settled in Prague in 1715 and in time became head of the yeshivah and a famous preacher. <br> After the death of Rabbi David Oppenheim 1736 he was appointed dayan of Prague. Elected rabbi of Metz in 1741 he subsequently became rabbi of the "Three Communities" Altona Hamburg and Wandsbek in 1750. Both in Metz and in Altona he had many disciples and was considered a great preacher. <br> His position in the Three Communities however was undermined when a dispute broke out concerning his suspected leanings toward Shabbateanism. This controversy accompanied Rabbi Eybeschuetz throughout his life and the quarrel had repercussions in every community from Holland to Poland. His main opponent was Rabbi Jacob Emden also a famous talmudist and a potential rival in the candidature to the rabbinate of the Three Communities.<br> The quarrel developed into a great public dispute which divided the rabbis of the day. While most of the German rabbis opposed Rabbi Eybeschuetz his support came from the rabbis of Poland and Moravia. <br> A fruitless attempt at mediation was made by Rabbi Ezekiel Landau rabbi of Prague. Most of Rabbi Eybeschuetz' own community was loyal to him and confidently accepted his refutation of the charges made by his opponent but dissension reached such a pitch that both sides appealed to the authorities in Hamburg and the government of Denmark for a judicial ruling. The king favored Rabbi Eybeschuetz and ordered new elections which resulted in his reappointment. <br> After his reelection as rabbi of the Three Communities some rabbis of Frankfort Amsterdam and Metz challenged him to appear before them to reply to the suspicions raised against him. Rabbi Eybeschuetz refused and when the matter was brought before the Council of the Four Lands in 1753 the council issued a ruling in his favor. In 1760 the debate was rekindled when some Shabbatean elements were discovered among the students of Rabbi Eybeschuetz' yeshiva. At the same time his youngest son Wolf presented himself as a Shabbatean prophet with the result that the yeshiva was closed. See Bibliography of the Hebrew Book 1470-1960 #000109183; EJ; M. A.

Light wear a couple of short closed tears without loss. Very Good.<br /> <br /> Mary Tomasich calling herself "the widow of Joseph Tomasich late of the County of Hancock but now deceased" filed a claim against Joseph's estate. But in 1866 while Joseph was still alive she petitioned for a divorce from Joseph "charging him therein with continued ill treatments and with committing adultery with a negress living with him."<br /> The Hancock County Court issued a decree of divorce which the Executor attaches to this Answer. Having dissolved the bonds of holy matrimony Mary thus has no claim to Joseph's estate. unknown
18015554London: J. Wright; Philanthropic Reform 1801. First editions. Two pamphlets bound together in modern quarter calf over marbled boards with morocco label to spine. Measuring 203 x 120mm and both collating complete: 4 136; 27 1 blank. Toning throughout both tracts with closed tears to pages 69-70 and 77-80 with no loss of text; contemporary pencil annotations throughout the first tract documenting one reader's responses to the controversial claims. Numbers 2 and 4 in ink to headers of each title suggest these were part of a larger compilation of legal tracts likely the set of four that were offered for sale in the 1923 Walpole Galleries sale which bear matching marks. Each scarce OCLC reports approximately 20 copies of the first title and ESTC locates 3 copies of the second title; they are the only examples currently in trade. <br /> <br /> Two scarce pamphlets engaging in a longstanding debate about whether how and when divorce should be socially and legally acceptable. These two take up the issue of women's sexual agency and Thoughts on the Propriety specifically espouses the notion that women who have engaged in adultery should not be allowed to divorce an existing spouse in order to marry a man with whom they've been unfaithful. Biblical justifications for this ban are presented throughout; but the hypocrisy woven into the argument makes it clear that its author is manufacturing a problem in order to punish and shame the few women for whom this circumstance even exists. <br /> <br /> Marriages at the time could only be dissolved through divorce in an Act of Parliament; thus divorces were only available to the titled and the wealthy. Additionally at the time of Thoughts on the Propriety's publication in 1800 no woman had ever successfully petitioned Parliament for divorce and been granted one. This landmark would come in 1801 the year of publication for Nuptiae Sacra when Jane Campbell successfully petitioned to divorce Edward Addison on the grounds of abuse. "Of the 314 divorce Acts issued before 1857 all but five were initiated by men. Of the five women who petitioned for divorce Jane Campbell was the first to successfully unbind herself from her husband" History of Parliament. Whether the author of Thoughts anticipated such a ruling or not it is clear that the issue at stake was not so much women gaining divorces as women more openly at the turn of the century engaging in pre and extra marital sexual relationships or even in some cases paid sex work. This was in fact occurring; and it was the subject of numerous satires erotic works and religious diatribes dealing with cuckoldry and whoredom. The desire to shame and control women who expressed sexual subjecthood and the impulse to position them as the sinning parties rather than the men who equally engaged in the behavior with them is telling and predicts how future divorce laws would unfold.
