JUDAICA. [PLANTIER (Jacques): Reflections on the History of the Jews. I. On the Ruin of their Republic and on the Messiah. II. On the Unbelief of this People. III. On the Unbelievers in General. Pour servir de Preuves à la Vérité de la Religion Chrétienne Avec un Abrégé de l'Histoire des Juifs Genève, Fabri et Barrillot, 1721; two vol. in 12, vellum with flaps, red speckled tr. modern binding. ORIGINAL EDITION of this rare work, in which Plantier refutes Bayle's theses, in particular. If he condemns the obstinacy of the Jews in not recognizing the Messiah, he insists on the fact that they are not to blame. A fine copy, with the repeated manuscript ex libris of Jules Henry, minister of the Reformed religion in Yvernois, near Geneva, which he dates to 1723, two years after the publication.
