1841 1^ed English Efes Dammim Jerusalem Jewish Zaslav Poland Damascus Affair

‘Éfés dammîm. A series of conversations at Jerusalem’ was written by the famous Jewish scholar Levinsohn. Levinsohn s work was written in response to the blood accusation charge brought against the Jews of Zaslav in Poland charged with killing Christians to use their blood in communion. Levinsohn’s purpose was to acquit the Jews before the eyes of Christians, and to save them from the false accusation of using Christian blood for communion. “Efes Dammim” is written dialogically between a patriarch of the Greek Church in Jerusalem, Simias, and the chief rabbi in the Jewish synagogue.

This 1841 first English edition was published just one year after the Damascus Affair.
