Excerpt from The Modern Part of an Universal History, Vol. 11: From the Earliest Accounts to the Present Time
However, this recrimination did not hinder that prince from protecting them, as they had taken care to secure his favour by the homage they paid him. We are, indeed, told that the Jews, who pretended then to deal in astrology and magic, had promised Yezid, the son of Hasan, then on the throne, and a wicked prince, a forty years reign, if he would destroy all the images within his dominions; but that his accepting the condition raised such a powerful party of saints in heaven, that they obtained a sentence of death against him. Upon which his son was going to revenge the cheat, and his father's death, upon them, but that they retired betimes into the Roman territories, and so escaped his resentment. But there is a manifest anachronism in that story, to say nothing worse of it, since Yezid died, A. D. 683; whereas, according to the author last named, the edict against images did not come out till three years after, that is, anno 686. Besides, it is so far from probable that the Jewish nation suffered under Yezid, or any of his immediate successors, that, on the contrary, they lived in such liberty and quiet under them, that their prince, or chief of the captivity, enjoyed as great an authority as if he had been their real king: and the same may be said of those that dwelt in Egypt and Syria, which was then under the Ommiades, whose family was no less friendly to the Jewish nation.
But it is now time to turn our eyes to those in the West, under the Roman emperors, at Constantinople, Africa, Italy, Spain, and France, during the sixth and seventh centuries, which we chuse to join together, to avoid breaking off the thread of their history. The first cause of complaint which the emperor Justinian, who affected to judge of most affairs relating to religion, gave them, was his edict which forbad them to celebrate their passover according to their own calculation, and enjoined them to keep it at the same time with the Christians.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex and often tumultuous history of the Jewish people following the destruction of Jerusalem and their subsequent dispersal throughout the world. It traces their journeys and settlements across various empires and kingdoms, from the East under Islamic rule to the West under Christian dominion. The narrative explores the challenges and opportunities faced by Jewish communities as they navigated the political and religious landscapes of different societies. It highlights periods of relative tolerance and prosperity, such as under certain caliphs who valued their intellectual contributions, as well as eras of persecution and forced conversions, often fueled by religious zeal and political expediency. The author examines the resilience of Jewish culture and identity as they maintained their traditions and scholarship despite facing adversity. The book sheds light on the establishment and flourishing of renowned Jewish academies, which became centers of learning and intellectual exchange, preserving and transmitting Jewish knowledge across generations. By weaving together historical events, religious doctrines, and cultural practices, this book offers a comprehensive and insightful exploration of the Jewish diaspora. It underscores the enduring spirit and intellectual legacy of the Jewish people, providing a deeper understanding of their historical experiences and contributions to the world.
