Descripción

In German. x, 563, (2) pages. 20 x 14.5 cm. Additional images available upon request. Spine reinforced. Graetz was born to a butcher family in Xions (now Ksiaz Wielkopolski), Grand Duchy of Posen, in Prussia (now in Poland), he attended Breslau University, but since Jews at that time were barred from receiving Ph.D.s there, he obtained his doctorate from the University of Jena. After 1845 he was principal of the Jewish Orthodox school of the Breslau community, and later taught history at the Jewish Theological Seminary in Breslau (now Wroclaw, Poland). His magnum opus History of the Jews was quickly translated into other languages and ignited worldwide interest in Jewish history. As his fame grew so did the embarrassment at Breslau University, and so in 1869 it bestowed on him an honorary doctorate. The Spaniards also wanted to make amends for having expelled 200,000 Spanish Jews a few centuries earlier and for burning Jews alive ("auto da fe") in public squares in Spain and in her colonies, in the centuries following the expulsion, and so in 1888 they bestowed on Graetz an Honorary Membership in the Spanish Royal Academy of Sciences.
