HOLMAN, 1754, 1849ecamo alarmed, and quickly introduced and passed another Bill to repeal the obnoxious measure. By this display of intolerance the progress of Jewish emancipation was seriously retarded, and it was not until 1830 that the question was again brought before the public. In the meantime the Jews had prospered, and many of them had achieved high social position. They acutely felt their exclusion from civil and political rights, and sought the first favourable opportunity of bringing their claims before Parliament. This was afforded by the distinctly liberal tendency of public feeling manifested in the repeal of the Test and Corporation Act in 1828. Sir Isaac Lyon Goldsmid, Mr. N. M. Rothschild, Sir David Salomons, and Sir Moses Moutefiore, assisted by the Board of Deputies, organised a small movement and enlisted the support of influential friends. In 1830 the struggle commenced with the introduction of Mr. llobert Grant's Bill for the Ilepeal of the Civil Disabilities of the Jews. The measure was defeated on the second reading. Three years later another effort was made and with better success. The Commons passed the Bill, but the Lords threw it out. Year by year the campaign was now prosecuted with unwearying zeal; but the obduracy of the Lords proved insurmountable. New tactics were resolved upon. Leading Jews became candidates for public officers, from which, in the then state of the law, they were excluded. This at once changed the question from an academic to a practical one, and also had the effect of enlisting as friends the large section of the upblic who by their votes had committed themselves to the eligibility of Jews for public employment. In this way municipal (1835) and corporate (1845) offices were successively thrown open to Jews, and in 1847 an attack was made on Parliament itself. Here however the resistance was most obstinate. Even such friends of the Jews as the Duke of Sussex hesitated to regard this phase of the question as an integral part of Jewish rights. To administer the law was one thing ; to be concerned in making it in a country which was Christian by statute, was held to be both dangerous and anomalous. The contest raged round the wording of the oath which the Jewish members of Parliament Baron Lionel de Rothschild and Sir David Salomons refused to take. For eleven years the question was debated ; but in 1858, by the good offices of Mr. Disraeli, a compromise was arranged with the Lords, by which the whole of the Jewish claim was conceded. Two years later an Act received the royal assent enabling Jews on all occasions whatsoever to omit the words " on the true faith of a Christian," from the Oath of Allegiance. Since that date Jews have been prominent among the members of the Lower House. One, Sir George Jessel, afterwards Master of the Rolls (see No. 1110), served as Solicitor-General, and Baron H. de Worms has twice filled the Under-Secretaryship to the Board of Trade in a Conservative Ministry. What lingering doubt there might have been as to the eligibility of Jews for membership of the higher House was removed in 1885, when Mr. Gladstone created Sir Nathaniel de Rothschild a peer (see No. lll'J). The internal history of the community follows a course very similar to that of their political progress, with the exception that it has been continuous and peaceful. The only disturbing feature was the Reform Movement of 1840 Pre-Expulsion Period. a movement the significance of which, was much exaggerated at the time, and all the bitterness of which has long since passed away. Much of the history of this period may be read in the following pages, iu the documents relating to public institutions, the relics of public men, and the notes appended to the entries of portraits of communal celebrities and other exhibits. a. PRE-EXPULSION PERIOD. [See also KECOBD OFFICE and- BRITISH MUSEUM EXHIBITS.] 1. EWER. Bodleian Library, Oxford. Bronze, 9 in. high, 30 in. round broadest circumference. Two handles and three feet, above each an ornament (stag, bird, flower). Ornamented with two fleurs-de-lys, one on each side immediately under the junction of the handles. Inscription on the cincture read by Gagnier h\>"w hwiv vpn p SIDV -run rm ras ^snN us nnr6 na > " The gift of Joseph, son of the Holy [ = martyred] Eabbi Yechiel (may the memory of the holy and righteous be a blessing), who answered and directed the congrega- tion as he desired, in order to see the face of Ariel [Jerusalem] as it is written in the law of Yekuthiel [? = Solomon] ' Righteousness (charity) delivereth from death ' " (Prov. x. 2). Found by a fisherman in a brook in Suffolk about 1696, it passed into possession of Dr. Covel, whose executors sold it to the Earl of Oxford, from whom it passed to Dr. Eawlinson and thence into the Ashmolean Museum. The interpretation of the inscription, and the object for which the ewer was used, is still disputed among autho- rities, most being of opinion that it was a receptacle for the charitable funds of a congregation. Dr. Neubauer holding that it was a laver used for washing the dead. See Margoliouth, Jews in East Anglia, and Dr. Neubauer in Academy, 1870, p. 188. 2. SHOI>HAR. Mrs. Arabella Levi.

The portrait or caricature is the earliest dated sketch of a mediaeval Jeic. The badge on the dress represents the Two Tables of the Law, which all Jews were obliged to wear in saffron taffity. The subject of the sketch, written by the clerk who made the Pre-Expulsion Period. entry, was probably Cok [ ? Isaac, Heb. YitzcJiaJc] son of Aaron, mentioned in the accompanying entry, of which the following is a translation : COLCHESTER to wit : By the same it was brought forward that a certain doe was started in Wildenhaye Wood by the dogs of Sir John de Burgh, sen., which doe in her night came by the top of the City of Colchester, crossing towards another wood on the other side of that city. And there issued forth Saunte son of Ursel, Jew of Colchester, Cok son of Aaron, and Samuel son of the same, Isaac the Jewish chaplain, Copin and Elias, Jews, and certain Christians of the said city, to wit : William Scott [2s.], Henry the Gutter [2s.], Henry the Toller [2s.], and others. And these with a mighty clamour chased the same doe through the south gate into the aforesaid city and they so worried her by their shouting that 'they forced her to jump over a wall and she thus brake her neck to wit, on Wednesday next after the feast of St. Nicholas in the fifty-second year of the reign of King Henry [7 Dec., 1267]. And there came upon them Walter the Goldsmith, Bailiff [half a mark] and Kobert the Toller [2s.], beadle of the same city, and others that are dead, and carried thence the game and had their will of it. And these came not nor did their attorneys. Thereupon it was ordered to the Sheriff that he summon the aforesaid Jews from day to day, and a day was set to the Bailiffs of Colchester for producing the others mentioned, within three weeks from Easter Day. And the aforesaid Saunte and Isaac put in an appearance and being convicted were cast into prison. And the aforesaid Cok stayeth at Lincoln, therefore was it ordered to the Sheriff of Lincoln to produce him within one month from Easter. And the aforesaid Saunte being led forth'from prison was fined forty shillings on the surety of Yives of Gipewis [Ipswich], Vives of Clare and Mosse Panel of Haverhulle, Jews. And the aforesaid Elias came not nor was he to be found. Therefore let him be driven forth, &c. And the aforesaid Isaac being led forth from prison was fined in four marks on the surety of Joce of Cantuar [Canterbury] Jew, Abraham son of Aaron, Isaac son of Chera, Jew, Saer son of Kadulph of Colchester, and Richard Pruet of the same. And later came forward the aforesaid Copin and Samuel and are committed to prison, and being led forth were fined, that is to say, Copin in t\vo marks on the surety of Vives son of Coperun, and Aaron son of Leo, Jews. And the aforesaid Samuel in one mark on the surety of Jacob of London and Saunte son of Ursel of Colchester, Jews. And the Sheriff Lincoln] answereth nought concerning the aforesaid Cok the Jew but contemned the mandate of the Justiciars, &c. Wherefore he is at mercy one hundred shillings. And the said Cok who came not ten marks by taxation of the Justiciars. 10 J. Historic Relics and Records. 15. CARICATURE OF JEWS. F. Haw.

[The Sabbath is welcomed " as a bride " by the devout Jew. According to the Jewish proverb, " where there's light there's joy," the Sabbath Eve is ushered in by the lighting of the Lamp, the form of which is not fixed,, but is usually of seven burners. A cup of wine, the Kiddush Cup, or cup of sanctification, is tasted. The bread at the evening meal is of special form (Halla), and before use is covered with the Halla Cloth. The close of the Sabbath has also its own ceremonial, in which the Kiddush Cup is again used, and the senses are gratified by the sweet savour of the Spice-box, doubtless a reminiscence of the East.] 1609.

[The chief Jewish festivals that are celebrated in the home, and thus require special requisites are Passover, Tabernacles, Hanuca (Feast of Dedication of the Temple), and Purim, or the Feast of Esther. The chief service of the Passover is that of the Passover Eve (Seder), when the story of the Exodus is told to the children, with appropriate symbols. Four glasses of wine are emptied, bitter herbs are eaten, and the bread is unleavened (i"lD). In the centre of the table is placed a cup for the use of the Prophet Elijah if he should come to announce the coming of the Messiah. The Feast of Tabernacles is celebrated by residence in a booth (HDD Succa), which is built with only leaves and boughs for a roof. There is used besides the Ethrog, or citron, and the Lulab, or palm-branch, round which is twined myrtle and willow, which have all their symbolic teaching. The Feast of Dedication of the Temple, when the Lamp was miraculously kept alight for eight days, has for an appropriate symbol a eight-branched candelabrum, to which is attached a master lamp (termed 1 " the beadle "), making nine in all ; as many lamps are each evening lighted as the days of the feast that have come. Lastly, the feast that celebrates the salvation of the Jews by Esther is appropriately celebrated by reading the record of her deeds in the Megilla, or scroll of Esther."} 1684. MATZOTH.

[Jewish betrothals used to be equally formal and binding as marriages, and Betrothal Kings were made equally elaborate as Wedding Rings, which often contain the names of the wedded pair, with the addition of ("Good Luck"). The former in early times were used to surround a sprig of myrtle, whence their large size. At the wedding ceremony it is customary for the bridegroom to break the glass out of which the bride and he have drank the wine of sanctification. The ceremony is recorded in Hebrew in the marriage certificate (Chetubah). Divorce is only made known by a letter of divorce (tOJ), which are pierced and cut curiously.] 1822. BETROTHAL RING. Miss L.

CHIEF DAIRY AND OFFICE, ELGIN AVENUE, MAIDA VALE, W. ( 133 ) III. ANTIQUITIES. ANY complete collection of Jewish antiquities would range over the whole field of historic archaeology. Scattered through all the nations of the civilized world, the Jews have had points of contact with every nation that has had a history. The few specimens drawn from this wide field shown in the present Exhibition cannot profess to represent in any degree the whole field of Jewish antiquities, and only afford a glimpse of the much broader basis on which Anglo-Jewish history itself rests. The collection is miscellaneous in character, and only admits of rough classification under the headings of MSS., Books, Inscriptions, the Temple, Holy Land, and Assyria, and lastly, Seals and Rings, on each of which a lew remarks may here be made. Almost all the Hebrew MSS. offered have been shown and catalogued as it is in inedited MSS. that ever fresh light is to be expected in the various departments of Jewish literature. Some rare liturgies, translations of the Arabic philosophers into Hebrew, Avill be found amongst them. But the chief attraction of our collection is formed by two collections, one of general range, exhibited by Sir Julian Goldsmid, Bart., M.P., and the Samaritan MSS. shown by the Earl of Crawford and Balcarres, the finest private collection of this class of MSS. in existence ; no list of these has hitherto appeared in print, though an elaborate catalogue has been drawn up by the Rev. A. Lowy, and is exhibited with the MSS., to which it forms an indis- pensable guide. Turning from the sublime to the other extreme, attention may be drawn to the notorious " Shapira MS." which created such a sensation while the question of its authenticity was still sub lite. The Books shown have been chiefly selected for the extrinsic merits of their binding, as the British Museum offered to exhibit a selection of its magnifi- cent collection, with which we could not hope to cope. Besides this the Trustees are also displaying some sixty of their Hebrew MSS. selected from their collection of over one thousand codices. Scholars will be glad of even this small instalment of a catalogue of these treasures. Under Inscriptions we may notice the collection of photographs found by M. Isidore Loeb.and kindly placed at our disposal; inscriptions from France, Spain, Germany, Arabia, and the Holy Land, are included under this head. Material is thus offered to the student for a study of Hebrew necrograr>hic inscriptions. The intimate connection of Jewish history and feeling with the Holy Land would justify the exhibits dealing with Palestine, even if there were no section of antiquities. Both in their own thoughts and in the views of others, the relation of Jews with the Holy Land is so close that no lapse of time can dissever their connection, if only imaginative, with the past glories of the 134 III. Antiquities. Holy Land. And of these the memory looks back with especial affection to the glories of the Temple. These are represented in the present Exhibition by a remarkable model reconstruction of Solomon's time, the result of the life study of Mr. Thomas Newberry, and of three, years' labour of Messrs. Bartlett. Scholars will doubtless dispute as to the amount of the success with which the ancient building has been reconstructed from the scanty mentions in the Biblical records, but all' will admire the industry and ingenuity with which the mechanical difficulties of such a conception have been approached and surmounted. The ^Palestine Exploration Fund exhibit the choicest of their treasures, chief among which may be mentioned their own map, the most important contribution to Biblical study that has been made in England for many years. The other objects they exhibit have attracted such wide interest among Bible students that detailed descriptions would be an impertinence towards these, and in another sense impertinent to the wants of the general public. The Moabite Stone and the Siloam Inscription have been the subject of numbers of monographs which have not yet exhausted the instruction to be drawn from these earliest specimens of Semitic palaeography. Students will have these at hand, others will be content to do without more explicit description. Next to the Holy Land, the Land of the Captivity, where the Jewish exiles refused to sing their songs in a strange land, has chief interest to the student of Jewish history, not to speak of the many-coloured light that the cuneiform inscriptions have thrown upon Biblical archaeology in general. A carefully selected collection of Assyrian objects discovered by Mr. H. Kassam, and exhibited by Mrs. Gr. E. Sandeman, will give the visitor some idea of the range of Assyrian archaeology. Lastly, a number of Seals and Eings offer some addition to the scanty materials of Jewish sigillography, a subject on which a complete monograph has been promised for some time past from the learned pen of M. Saige. In this department, as in others, the compilers regret that the hurry-scurry with which work such as theirs must be conducted, has prevented the full inscriptions and descriptions from being given. Their entries cannot profess to do more than record in the briefest possible way the nature of the exhibits and the source whence fuller accounts may be obtained. a.

(Shekel of Israel) above the number of the year, N for 1, 2 for 2, &c., with (except in the case of the first year) a W (for T\y&, year) preceding it. On the reverse is a triple lily or hyacinth, or, according to some, the budding rod of Aaron,* with the legend ntJHp D7B>n* (Holy Jerusalem). After the first year, the name of the city, on both the shekels and half-shekels, is spelt DvB'IT. The standard Aveight of the shekel is 220 grams, and the value in English money about 2s. 8d. The half-shekel is similar, except that the inscription on the obverse is n (half-shekel). Copper pieces, but only of the 4th year and including a copper shekel of that year, are also known. The copper shekel resembles those in silver; the other pieces bear the number of the year, together with designs of the palm-branch (Lulab) and citrons (Ethrogim), both sacred to the Feast of Tabernacles, and the legend }1*X J"DJO^ (The redemption of Zion). Of John Hyrcanus only copper pieces are known. His name is written (irviT or p31H (Jehochanan) and piir* (Jehonan), and the coins purport on the face of them to be issued by D'T.Tn "Onn CPfcO ^HJH jron pmrp (Jehochanan, the High Priest and Prince of the Confederation of the Jews) with some slight variations. Judas Aristobulus, whose name on his coins is nTlH* (Judah), struck somewhat similar pieces in copper only, but these, owing to the shortness of his reign, are of extreme rarity. Alexander Jannaeus was the first prince who adopted Greek inscriptions, iis well as Hebrew legends, and on some of his pieces these are bi-lingual. lu Hebrew, he is styled n^n iru*!"P (the! king Jehonathan) ; in Greek, AAEZANAPOY BAIIAEQZ (of the king Alexander). Flowers, anchors, palm-branches, &c., ornament his coins, which are known in copper only. * " And behold the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded and brought forth buds and bloomed blossoms and yielded almonds." Numbers xvii. 8. 154 IV. Coins and Medals. The rare pieces ascribed to Alexandra, his widow, I have before referred to. There are several types of copper coins resembling those of Alexander Jannaeus, among which one unique piece may be ascribed to John Hyrcanus II. r his son, and others, according to some numismatists, belong to Alexander II. ; tut, according to others, should await some more certain and final determi- nation, the only consensus in opinion being that they were at all events struck before the reign of Antigonus. This monarch was the last reigning prince of his race, and was probably the first king whom the Romans ever subjected to the disgrace of being executed with the axe. One series of copper coins of his reign is known, on which the inscription is bi-lingual. That in Greek reads BACIAEfiC ANT1FONOY (of the king Antigonus), and that in Hebrew adds to his Hebrew name (HTinD, Mattathias), the formula as before of " The High Priest and the Confederation of the Jews." One very rare type of his reign also bears the design of the seven-branched candlestick, which was taken by Titus, Emperor of Rome, from the Temple of Herod, and was borne in his triumph before him, as represented on the arch of Titus. (II.) Idumaean or Herodian Princes. The founder of this race was Antipater, but the first of its members who bore regal power was the notorious Herod the Great, who had (among his ten wives) married Mariamne, the daughter of the Asmonaean Alexander II. Having regard to Herod's phil-Hellenic tendencies, it is not surprising to find that on his coins are Greek inscriptions only. During his reign and thenceforth, with the exceptions of the periods during the two Jewish revolts, only copper pieces were coined by Jewish princes. It is clear, however, that probably Roman denarii and Greek gold staters and silver pieces from time to time formed a portion of the currency of the land. The devices on Herod's coins consist of vessels and tripods, probably in the nature of incense-burners, the pomegranate, the anchor, double cornu- copiae, helmets and other ornamental designs. The inscription is BAZIAEOZ H POAOY (of the King Herod), and on one rare piece is the monogram -R (for Tpt^aX nbfcO? nnN JW (First year of the redemption of Israel). Copper coins also occur with a bunch of grapes, as also the palm-tree, and with legends similar to those on the silver pieces. One rare silver com, the authenticity of which was at one time under some suspicion, has the name of Eleazar on one side and that of Simon on the other. Simon Nasi (N^S, prince) the son of Gamaliel, also coined money, and bore the title referred to, with the authority of the Sanhedrin, on his coins, which occur only in copper, and are similarly inscribed to those of his pre- decessor. The devices are those of the vase, the palm-tree, vine-leaf, lyre, and other ornamental designs. The inscriptions on the coins of both Eleazar and Simon are in old Hebrew characters, but slightly varying in formation from those on the pieces of the Asmonaean princes. There is one fine and rare silver shekel, probably belonging to this period, which has on the obverse a representation of the Beautiful Gate of the Temple, with the inscription D7BMT and on the reverse the Ethrog and Lulab (citron and palm-branch), and the same inscription as on Eleazar's silver pieces. (V.) The coins struck in Rome commemorating the capture of Jerusalem are those with the well-known legends of IVD/EA, IVDXEA CAPTA, JVD/EA DEVICTA, &c., and more properly belong to the province of Roman numismatics. It will suffice to state that they were struck in gold, .silver, and brass, under Vespasian, Titus, and Domitian, and have the head of the Emperor on the obverse, and generally Judaea, mourning, seated under a palm-tree, on the reverse. Trophies and other accompaniments sometimes vary the design. Those struck in Palestine by the Roman Emperors to com- memorate the same event mostly bear Greek inscriptions, and have generally on the reverse the legend IOYAAIAZ EAAIOKYI'AZ (Judaea Captured). Some, however, coined by Domitian, have Latin legends in the more usual Roman style. (VI.) Coins struck during the Second Revolt of the Jews under the Roman Emperor Nerva, great indulgence was shown to the Jews, and the abuses connected with the collection of the special tax levied upon them were abolished. In commemoration of this concession, a large brass Roman coin has on the reverse apalm-tree and the legend FISCI IVDAICI CALVMNIA SVBLATA. During the reign of his successor Trajan, however, the chosen people again revolted, and the insurrection was quelled with great difficulty Introduction. 157 and only after much bloodshed on both sides. On Hadrian's accession he meditated rebuilding Jerusalem under the name of Aelia, and of dedicating the temple to Jupiter Capitolinus. He also promulgated stricter laws against the Jews, who once more burst into revolt under the leadership of Simon Barcochab (i.e. son of a star). It was during this revolt that the famous- llabbi Akiba, a zealous advocate of Simon, perished at the hands of the llomans, exclaiming while being torn into pieces Avith red-hot pincers, " Hear, O Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is One." Simon issued coins with the old Hebrew characters, both in silver and copper. His silver shekels of the 1st and 2nd year are very rare, and both have the name of jIUOB' (Simon) on the obverse, with a representation, somewhat conventional in its form, of the Beautiful Gate of the Temple, and on the reverse an Ethrog and Lulab and DPE^IT niin? (The Deliverance of Jerusalem). A rare shekel of the 2nd year exhibited in the collection of the Rev. Churchill Babington has on the obverse a much more elaborate representation of the Beautiful Gate with the inscription D7B>'I"V. Simon's smaller silver coins are of numerous types, and were most often struck over denarii of Trajan and other Emperors. They have his name sometimes with and sometimes without a bunch of grapes on the obverse, and the design of a vase, lyre, palm-branch or two trumpets, with the usual legend " The Deliverance of Jerusalem " on the reverse. His copper pieces are of various sizes ; the larger ones with the palm-tree and his name on the obverse, and a vine-leaf and " The Deliverance, &c.," on the reverse, the smaller with the same or similar inscriptions, and with varied designs of the palm-tree or branch, lyre, bunch of grapes, vase, &c. After Simon's death, which took place on the capture of Bethar, Hadrian carried out his design of building a new city on the site of Jerusalem, and which thenceforth was called Aelia Capitolina, and became a Eoman Colony, The Jews were practically excluded from the City, which issued its coins in the way usual among the Eoman Colonies of the period. The record of Jewish numismatics, pure and simple, may therefore be said to end here, and it will be perceived that the series of coins described is not a very long one. It may be added that, however interesting they may be from an historical point of view, the Jewish coins are, with one or two. exceptions, far from being of artistic worth, and are generally (particularly in the case of the copper pieces) in an inferior state of preservation. The want of artistic design may with justice be attributed to the national objection against any representation of living forms or symbols, and which extended even to the representation of the head or bust of the reigning prince, a rule 1 which was infringed only by the later Herodian Princes. A similar objection to the bust of the reigning authority appearing on the coins, but founded upon very different grounds, existed among all the ancient Greek nations until after Alexander's time, but the heads of divinities supplied instead in their case ample material for the artistic talents of Greek die engravers whose skill at the highest period of their art has never been surpassed, or even equalled to this day. In conclusion, I will only warn my readers against the numerous counter- feits of Jewish coins which exist, and on most of which the legends are, as- 158 VI. Coins and Medals. before stated, in square Hebrew characters, which never occur on genuine pieces, and which afford most certain proof of forgery. One specimen of such a forgery is among the pieces exhibited by myself, and is of such a nature as hardly to be capable of deceiving the merest tyro in numismatic science. H.

Asher Lemlein, a fanatical German Jew living about 1500, professing to be gifted with inspiration, prophesied the advent of the Messiah in 1503. Becoming aware of his having prefixed too short a time for his prophecies, he stated in excuse that the people's sins had retarded the appearance of the Deliverer. He had many ardent supporters, and to one of these of the family del Piatelli the production of this medal is attributed. The medal has a portrait, presumed to be that of the pretender himself, and is surrounded by a long Hebrew inscription, in which the initial letters of the words give, in the form of an acrostic, the name of "Benjamin, the son of Eli Beer," the particular member of the dei Piatelli to whom the production of this medal is ascribed. The reverse has an inscription in Latin of similar import to that on the obverse, and the date D. Ill . M . (1503). 535. BROKER'S MEDAL OF THE CITY OF LONDON.
