עמלת בית המכירות: 20%

Authored by Rabbi Yitzhak bar Avraham, first printed by the priest Johann Christoph Wagenseil in 1681, reprinted in Amsterdam in 1705.

Polemical work against Christianity, and against the Christian claims regarding the Jewish religion. The author responds one by one to Christian claims against Judaism, including their attempt to prove their beliefs from the Holy texts, their claims regarding Jesus’s being Messiah, and more.

On the cover is the signature of ownership of “Avraham Yuda Arbanzo…” The author of the book is the Karaite scholar Yitzhak bar Avraham of Troky (Lithuania). This is the only Karaite text accepted by the wider Jewish community, and was even translated into Yiddish because of its strongly worded criticism of Christianity.

120 pages (in the same year, a different edition was printed with 124 pages). 13cm. Binding and spine are disconnected and reinforced with glue, margins of the first pages are falling apart. Generally ok condition.
