[2], 62 pages. Facsimile reproduction of letter addressed to Dr. David Goldstein, LL.D., by Benjamin H. Freedman, dated October 10, 1954. Freedman, a Jew turned Catholic, presents carefully researched and extensively referenced arguments, including why Jesus was not a Jew. His arguments lean heavily upon the history of the Chazars (Khazars) and cited Talmudic passages. Copy of detailed two-page typescript letter from Conde McGinley, Editor of the semi-monthly publication Common Sense, laid-in. McGinley encourages readers to order more copies of this work to help spread its message and to help fund his legal defense against Rabbi Joachim Prinz (who had accused Common Sense of libel for characterizing him as a "Red Rabbi"). Also laid-in is a copy of a one-page typescript page imploring readers to get copies of this book into the hands of half-a-million American community leaders. Light wear to book. Underlining and marginal lines in colored pencil on seven pages, inside back cover, and on first page of McGinley letter. Seven years after this letter was written, Freedman gave a shocking speech (audio available online) in which he linked the signing of the Balfour Declaration with America's entry into WWI. A sound vintage copy of this profound work. (Singerman 928) Book
Grande manoscritto su carta intelata (112x 89 cm), bordo di tessuto verde, stemmi araldici.
In Firenze per Pietro Cecconcelli, 1620 (alle Stelle Medicee). (mm. 150). Pergamena dell’epoca con titolo manoscritto al dorso. pp. (24), 403, (2), 1 c.b. La struttura portante dell’opera trovava nell’atto di ricomprensione del “tempo” del morire nel “tempo” della vita: per il Bellarmino, la “fine” terrena non è antitetica, né contrapposta alla vita, bensì ne è parte rilevante, ne è il culmine estremo, la possibilità conclusiva; pertanto, l’unica arte per ben morire non è altro che quella di chi impara a ben vivere nel quotidiano, perché se la morte è il termine della vita (ed essa è, quindi, anche parte della vita, perché il termine di una cosa è compreso nella cosa stessa), è certo che chi vivrà bene ogni suo giorno terreno, fino alla fine della propria esistenza, morirà anche bene; “né potrà morire male chi non è mai vissuto male. Allo stesso modo, chi è vissuto male, muore anche male; né può non morire male chi non è mai vissuto bene”. Prima edizione in italiano. Si unisce l'edizione in latino: BELLARMINO ROBERTO.

What happened to this fine heritage when the Jews finally fashioned a government of their own in Israel; what happened to Jews when they became Jewish politicians, what happened to a piety, a sense of honor, and a brotherly love that 2,500 years of anti-semitism were unable to disturb in the Jewish soul?
