Einige curieuse nachrichten… tuercken-bund, kreig, auch tuerkisch-gesinnten jueden betreffend [strange news about the forecasts concerning the growth of the Austrian Noble House, including forecasts about the Turks and their decline, the Turkish alliance, war. Refers also to Turkish Jews], Frankfurt and Leipzig, 1737. Anonymous writer. Dedicated to Count Heinrich von Brol (1700-1763).
8 Chapters, containing mainly forecasts from various sources and different periods about the future of Habsburg Monarchy and the future of the Ottoman Empire. German. The eighth chapter has a different character and deals with the vicious damage done by Jews and Turks to Christians. It opens stating that the Christian inquisition caused the deaths of many innocent victims, but it seems reasonable that most Jews were rightly executed, since the Jews damage the Christians. To prove this the writer quote a fictitious correspondence between a Spanish Jew and a Turkish Jew from the period of the Expulsion of Jews from Spain, with claims against the Spanish King abusing the Jews. The Turkish Jew advises to secretly take revenge through trade, medicine, religion and law. 4; 66 pages, 18.5 cm. Very good condition.
