Note 175 — Chapter XXXI · A.D. 1500-1600. THE JEWS IN GERMANY AND CENTRAL EUROPE.
Reading edition
Some of the Jewish books were no doubt extremely offensive to Christians, as, for example, the Chisuk Emunah of Isaac ben Abraham, a Polish Jew. The Portuguese Jews translated it into their own language, and diffused it widely. The Nitzachon again, ascribed to Rabbi Lipman, of Mulhouse, was equally, if not more virulent. It could hardly be expected that even the wisest and most far-seeing men of the sixteenth century would tolerate these.
