In this slim yet substantial treatise, Christoph Wallich (1672–1743), a convert from Judaism to Christianity, presents the teaching synagogue of Greifswald theology professor Johann Friedrich Mayer (1650–1712), which he had set up in his home and which, according to the subtitle of a more recent publication, represents an “example of the Christian reception of Judaism in the 18th century” (Johann Friedrich Mayer’s Teaching Synagogue in Greifswald, edited by Ch. Böttrich, Th. K. Kuhn, and D. Stein Kokin, Leipzig 2016). — Good copy *
