Raccolta Degli Atti Dell' Assemblea Degli Israeliti di Francia e del Regno D'Italia, convocata a Parigi con decreto di S. M. I. E. R. del 30 Maggio 1806, by Diogene Tama. Milano: G.G. Destefanis, 1807. Italian.
Survey of the convention of Jewish Congregations' dignitaries from France and Italy, and the "Paris Sanhedrin" decisions, by Diogene Tama.
On May 30 1806, in view of rising anti-Semitism in Alsace-Lorraine, Napoleon Bonaparte convened wealthy Jewish persons, rabbis and public figures in France and Italy. A dozen questions were presented to the audience, which were meant to assess the attitude of Jews towards the French nation and in particular to examine whether there is a discrepancy between the Jewish religion and French Law. The answers were satisfactory and expressed the Jews' will to suppress their national identity and emphasize their affinity to France. In order to give legal effect to the decisions taken by the convention, Napoleon ordered to convene the "Paris Sanhedrin" with the participation of rabbis and other Jewish figures. The Sanhedrin approved of the convention's answers and validated the decisions.
316, 116, [4] pp, 23 cm. Fair-good condition. Uneven trimming of pages. Creases and wear at margins of leaves. Stained. Several dark pages. Binding is not original. Damage to binding.
