SEPHARDIC CLANDESTINE WRITING OF THE EARLY ENLIGHTENMENT
Join Professor Carsten Wilke, the inaugural Herman Prins Salomon Fellow, for a discussion of Sephardic clandestine writing—polemical manuscripts against Christianity circulated among Portuguese Jews in Amsterdam between 1650 and 1750. These texts, some of which are preserved by the Gottesman Library, contributed a militant Jewish perspective to the debates of the Scientific Revolution and Early Enlightenment, but publishing them was considered too dangerous.
Herman Prins Salomon, a long-time professor of languages at SUNY Albany, was renowned for his extensive scholarship, with a focus on Western Sephardi communities. He served as co-editor of The American Sephardi: Journal of the Sephardic Studies Program of Yeshiva University.
Carsten Wilke is Professor of Jewish Thought and Culture at Central European University in Vienna, Austria. He has authored numerous books on Jewish history, culture, and scholarship.
