Entdecktes Judenthum, oder, Gründlicher und wahrhaffter Bericht, welchergestalt die verstockte Juden die Hochheilige Dreyeinigkeit, Gott Vater. erschrecklicher Weise lästern [Judaism Unmasked - a thorough and real report about the horrifying manner in which the stubborn Jews slander the Holy Trinity and disgrace it], by Johann Andreas Eisenmenger. Berlin (on the title page: Koenigsberg), 1711. Two volumes. German and some Hebrew.
Eisenmenger (1654-1704) - a German orientalist and professor of Semitic languages, considered one of the first bearers of anti-Semitism in the new era. This book was dubbed by writer and historian Shimon Dubnov the "Encyclopedia of the Hatred of Jews". Eisenmenger mastered the Bible, Talmud and rabbinical writings and met with Jewish scholars and rabbis, seeking to retrieve references against the Christian faith. For 19 years he presented himself as a person meaning to approach Judaism and study its sources in order to eventually convert; in 1694 he even printed the Hebrew Bible in Frankfurt and was granted the approbation of Rabbi David Gruenhut, who mentioned him in the introduction as an "exalted scholar". The book Entdecktes Judenthum - "Judaism Unmasked" - is an extensive study, written in an apparently reliable scientific manner, against Judaism and its dangers to Christianity, and is considered to this day a classic of modern anti-Semitism.
The present edition is the second one, printed clandestinely in violation of an injunction against the book, seven years after the author's death. In order to avoid prosecution, the printers "forged" the place of publication and noted the city of Koenigsberg, which was outside the jurisdiction of Emperor Joseph I.
[2] leaves, 1016 pp; [2] leaves, 1111 pp, [8] leaves [in other copies these leaves are bound at the beginning of the first volume], approx. 19.5 cm. Good condition. Some creases and light stains. Tears and defects to bindings.

Jüdische Merckwürdigkeiten [Jewish Oddities], by Johann Jacob Schudt. Four parts in two volumes. Frankfurt and Leipzig, 1714-1718. German, German in Hebrew characters and some Hebrew.
The monumental work by Johann Jacob Schudt (1664-1772), seeking to understand the reasons for the Jews' oddities and customs. Schudt, an orientalist, linguist and scholar, devoted his entire career to the study of the Jews, and this work constitutes a summary of his work of many years.
The work contains descriptions of the Jews' living quarters, dress, holidays, literature and spiritual world, alongside a complex of anti-Semitic opinions in the guise of science. The book includes, uniquely, a chapter devoted entirely to the Jewish body - its shape, appearance and even smell, marking it as one of the first compositions of racial anti-Semitism.
The book contains four parts: the first part addresses the dispersion of Jewish communities throughout the world; the second part describes the history of the Jews in Frankfurt; the third part includes Schudt's "field work" (containing most of his "discoveries"); the fourth part contains various additions (printed about four years after the other three).
The work is accompanied by various engravings, including the engraving "The Jew's Sow" (Judensau), a portrait of the author, and more.
First volume: [11] leaves, 582 pp, [1] leaf; [4] leaves, 432, 383, [1] pp; [4] leaves, 358, [31] leaves + [6] engraved plates (including three small plates and one folded plate). 20.5 cm. Second volume: [16] leaves, 320 pp; 447 pp; [1], 192 pp, [19] leaves, 48 pp + [4] engraved plates (two small and two folded) and two full-page engravings. [1] leaf missing at the end of the book. One engraving may be missing. 20 cm. Good condition. Stains. Vellum bindings of the period. Tear, 3 cm long, to the bottom of the spine of the first volume. Stamps and bookplate.
