  • History of the Jews
    II ADVERTISEMENTS Should be in Every Jewish Home AN EPOCH-MAKING WORK COVERING A PERIOD OF ABOUT FOUR THOUSAND YEARS PROF. HE1NRICH GRAETZ'S HISTORY OF THE JEWS THE MOST AUTHORITATIVE AND COMPREHENSIVE HISTORY OF THE JEWS IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE HANDSOMELY AND DURABLY BOUND IN SIX VOLUMES Contains more than 4000 pages, a Copious Index of more than 8000 Subjects, and a Number of Good Sized Colored Maps. SOME ENTHUSIASTIC APPRECIATIONS DIFFICULT TASK PERFORMED WITH CONSUMMATE SKILL "Graetz's 'Geschichte der Juden1 has superseded all former works of its kind, and has been translated into English, Russian and Hebrew, and partly into Yiddish and French. That some of these translations have been edited three or four times—a very rare occurrence in Jewish literature—are in themselves proofs of the worth of the work. The material for Jewish history being so varied, the sources so scattered in the literatures of all nations, made the presentation of this history a very difficult undertaking, and it cannot be denied that Graetz performed his task with consummate skill."—The Jewish Encyclopedia. GREATEST AUTHORITY ON SUBJECT "Professor Graetz is the historiographer par excellence of the Jews. His work, at present the authority upon the subject of Jewish History, bids fair to hold its pre-eminent position for some time, perhaps decades."—Preface to Index Volume. MOST DESIRABLE TEXT-BOOK "If one desires to study the history of the Jewish people under the direction of a scholar and pleasant writer who is in sympathy with his subject, because he is himself a Jew, he should resort to the volumes of Graetz."—"Review ofRevitvit (New York).

So will es zumindest Heinrich Heine in seiner Lutetia (1855) wissen (Heine 1981, 401). Die Pointe, also der Ver- gleich von Kant mit Cagliostro, dem neapolitanischen Scharlatan, hat an amüsanter Prägnanz seit Heines Zeiten nichts eingebüßt. Sie erschließt sich wohl nach wie vor den allermeisten Lesern.

    Embracing The Dark ÅA The study of Western Esotericism is an the Dark Embracing Granholm: Kennet emerging academic fi eld with research mainly Kennet Granholm being carried out on historic currents ranging from the renaissance to early modern Europe, and on ”The New Age Movement”. The mode of spirituality called the Left Hand Path has, Embracing the Dark however, not yet attracted the attention of academia. The present study of the dark The Magic Order of Dragon Rouge– magic order DRAGON ROUGE constitutes an attempt to contribute thoroughly and Its Practice in Dark Magic creatively to this line of research. Objects of study are the organization, philosophy and Meaning Making and practices of the order, as well as the complex discursive conventions involved in the adherents’ construction of coherent world views. In an attempt to shed light on the particularities of this contemporary, late modern esoteric phenomenon, a historical perspective on Western Esotericism has here been combined with a discussion on the impact of recent societal change.

  • JEWISH STATISTICS the Statistics of Jews in the World Rest Largely Upon Estimates
    66 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK JEWISH STATISTICS The statistics of Jews in the world rest largely upon estimates. In Russia, Austria-Hungary, Germany, and a few other countries, official figures are obtainable. In the main, however, the num- bers given are based upon estimates repeated and added to by one statistical authority after another. For the statistics given below various authorities have been consulted, among them the " Statesman's Year Book" for 1908, the English " Jewish Year Book" for 56C8, " The Jewish Ency- clopedia," Jiidische Statistik, and the Alliance Israelite Uni- verselle reports. Some of the statements rest upon the authority of competent individuals, as for South Africa and Curagoa. THE UNITED STATES ESTIMATES As the census of the United States has, in accordance with the spirit of American institutions, taken no heed of the religious convictions of American citizens, whether native-born or natural- ized, all statements concerning the number of Jews living in this country are based upon estimates. The Jewish population was estimated In 1818 by Mordecai M. Noah at 3,000 In 1824 by Solomon Etting at 6,000 In 1826 by Isaac C. Harby at 6,000 In 1840 by the American Almanac at 15,000 In 184S by M. A. Berk at 50,000 In 1880 by Wm. B. Hackenburg at 230,257 In 1888 by Isaac Markens at 400,000 In 1897 by David Sulzberger at 937,800 DISTRIBUTION The following table by States presents two sets of estimates. In the left-hand column is given the estimated Jewish population of each State for 1905 as it appears in the " Jewish Encyclopedia," Vol.

  • Der Erzmagier (Jacob Philadelphia)
    Seite 1 Der Erzmagier Jacob Philadelphia im Deutschland der Aufklärung Markus Kompa1 Jacob Philadelphia ist der erste namentlich bekannte amerikanische Zauberkünstler, wenngleich er auch nur in Europa auftrat. Literarisch unsterblich wurde er durch den Spott des populären Wissenschaftlers Georg Christoph Lichtenberg. Ein Jahrhundert lang galt sein Name in Deutschland als Synonym für Zauberei. Meyer Philadelphia wurde als Jacob Meyer am 14. August 1735 nahe Philadelphia geboren, der Hauptstadt der damals britischen Kolonie Pennsylvania. Seine Eltern waren jüdische Einwanderer aus Besarabien (Südost-Russland) gewesen. Pennsylvania war damals für Aussiedler insbesondere wegen der dort geübten religiösen Toleranz attraktiv, etwa für deutsche Pietisten, englische Quäker und ähnliche Glaubensströmungen. Wizards of Wissahickon Meyer soll von dem Universalgelehrten Dr. Christopher Witt erzogen und ausgebildet worden sein, der einer als „Wizards of Wissahickon“ bezeichneten Bruderschaft von Eremiten am Fluss Wissahickon vorstand, welche kostenlos die Kinder der Umgebung unterrichtete.2 Witt war ein bekannter Arzt, der erste, der in Nordamerika medizinische Diplome ausstellen durfte. Daneben betrieb er Mathematik, Astronomie, Alchemie, Mechanik und Botanik, aber auch Astrologie und die Lehre der Kabbala, eine auf das 13. Jahrhundert zurückgehenden hebräischen Zahlenmystik. Bis zu ihrer Auflösung hatte Witt einer Bruderschaft um den deutschen Aussiedler Johann Kelp/Kelpius angehört, welche den Weltuntergang für das Jahr 1696 berechnet hatte. Die
