Entdecktes Judenthum (Judaism Unveiled) by Johann Andreas Eisenmenger: 1700 Frankfurt Edition

Two-volume quarto edition of Johann Andreas Eisenmenger's controversial work, *Entdecktes Judenthum*, published in Frankfurt in 1700. This anti-Judaic text, also known as *Judaism Unveiled*, *Judaism Discovered*, or *Judaism Unmasked*, compiles citations from 193 Hebrew books and rabbinical tracts to criticize Jewish religious thought. The book's publication spurred significant controversy, leading to its suppression by the Habsburg emperor and subsequent reprinting in Berlin in 1711. The work remains a significant, though highly contested, source in the study of antisemitism and the history of interpretations of Jewish texts.
