Summary

In the previous chapter we watched Johann Christoph Becmann react to the immigration of Jews to Frankfurt on the Oder by supporting an edition of the Talmud. In 1695 he also published a new edition of Selden’s De jure naturali, which must have been of interest to Jewish scholars as well. In these years, however, he had to grapple with a controversial case that was triggered by a book that had been secretly published in 1692 by the printer Runge in Berlin and was being sold by the book dealer Jeremias Schrey from Frankfurt on the Oder.1
