PREFACE.
The original plan of the Anglo-Jewish Historical Exhibition (the idea of which was started by Mr. I. Spielman, the Hon. Secretary) was to bring together all objects illustrating the history of the Jews in England. It was however soon determined to add to this illustrations of Jewish ecclesiastical art, both in this country and abroad. And when thej offers of exhibits came in, so many interesting objects were offered illustrating Jewish antiquities of nearly all times and countries, that the scope of the Exhibition was further extended to include these. Thus the following Catalogue of objects is divided into three parts, dealing respec- tively with exhibits illustrating Anglo-Jewish history, objects used in Jewish culture, and MSS. and other antiquities throwing light on Jewish life and thought generally.
This extension of the scope of the Exhibition has prevented the full display of all the objects sent in ; these, however, have been entered in the Catalogue, so that it should preserve within its covers a record of all the objects illustrating Anglo- Jewish history to be found in this country. By the kindness of the Deputy Keeper of the Record Office, and of the Trustees of the British Museum, and of the South Kensington Museum, supplementary exhibitions are being held at those buildings ; catalogues of these are appended to the present one.
In one direction it was found impossible to catalogue all the objects sent in. The number of books submitted was so largo and yet, from the bibliographical point of view, so incomplete, that it was decided to display only a selection, and only to cata- logue those specially exhibited. At the same time, the Executive Committee has entrusted to the editors of the present Catalogue the task of compiling a complete bibliography of Anglo-Jewish history and literature. This is now ready for the press, and will

shortly be published under the title of Bihliotheca Anglo- Judaica. It is contemplated adding to this the names of those who have kindly forwarded books to bo exhibited, and to indicate by numbers the books thus forwarded. The Catalogue and Bibliography will thus, between them, contain as full an account as possible of all the materials for Anglo-Jewish history.
In the comi^ilation of the present Catalogue we have to acknowledge the assistance of Mr. W. Chaffers, F.S.A., in the technical description of the gold and silver plate, and of Mr. H. Montagu, F.S.A, Vice-President Numismatic Society, for the Catalogue of Coins for which he has kindly made himself responsible. Mr. C. Trice Martin has been good enough to draw up the Catalogue of the Documents at the Eecord Office selected for exhibition, and Mr. E. Maunde Thompson has superintended the description of the Charters and MSS. shown by the Manuscript Department of the British Museum. We have to express our cordial acknowledgment for aid which has materially lightened the task of describing so many objects appealing to such varied tastes and requiring such a wide range of technical knowledge. The shortness of time which an exhibition affords for the compila- tion of a catalogue must be our excuse for anj^ errors into which we have fallen. We would add that, with regard to the trans- literation of Hebrew words, we have, for the convenience of the ordinary visitor, retained the system, or want of system, current among English Jews.

I.— HISTORIC RELICS AND RECORDS.
The history of the Jews in England is divided into two marked sections hy the dates 1290 and 1656 ; at the former they were expelled, at the latter they began to be readmitted. Their connection \vith the general history was entirely different in the two periods. In the Norman and Angevin periods they formed a body closely connected with the government of the country and constituting an integral part of its financial system. Since the re-admission they have been one among various bodies of Dissenters from the National Church, and as such their political history has been closely connected with that of Dissent in general. In both periods, however, their religious viewa have been a determining factor as regards their social position, and, as will be seen, it was entirely their creed that determined their anomalous position in medijeval England.
The history of the English Jews before the Expulsion may be shortly summarised as a financial experiment of the Norman kings, which was rendered necessary by the policy of the Church towards " usury," but which was ultimately rendered impossible by its costly character and by the rise of popular religious feeling due to the Crusades and the Friars. Before the Con- quest there is no trace of Jews in England beyond a few clauses in Church documents which might easily have been copied from similar ones in Con- tinental deeds. But when England was added to those countries of the European littoral which were being organised by the Normans, it was by special invitation of William that the Jews came from Kouen. The function they had to play was a double one. On the one hand, the contact of England with the Continent brought about a change in the economic system from one of barter to one in which large amounts of capital were needed, especially for the change in architecture from Avood to stone buildings. This capital could not be forthcoming from any but Jews, owing to the principle of the Canon Law which forbade the loan of money on interest by any one under its ecclesiastical jurisdiction. On the other hand, the king was the largest capitalist in the country, and though it is a moot point how far the money lent by the Jews was actually the king's in the first instance, there is no doubt tliat the Exchequer treated the money of the Jews as held at the pleasure of the king. There was a special " Exchequer of the Jews," presided over by special " Justices of the Jews," and all the deeds of the Jews had to be placed in charge of exchequer officers, or else they ceased to be legal documents. They thus formed a kind of sponge which first drained the country dry owing to the monopoly of capitalist transactions given them by the Canon Law, and then could be squeezed into the Royal Treasury. How important their contributions to this were may be judged from the fact that on one occasion the tallage of the Jews reached 60,000 marks against 70,000 supplied by the

rest of the country. There was scarcely an important building iu the country which was not raised by means of Jcwisli caiiital. Their operations were not confined to the large towns, as has been usually supposed. One of the facts brought out in investigations inidertakcn in connection with the present Exhibition has been their wide-spread dispersion throughout all the settled parts of England. (See Map, No. 519, to which some twenty further places could be added if they did not elude identification.)
Such a system of indirect taxation could not fail to be enormously exixjnsive. In order that Jews should lend money, they had to possess it, and this involved keeping a large number of persons (amounting at the Expulsion to nearly one per cent, of the ^wpulation) in affluence. But there was another influence which prevented the Jews from assimilating with the ]>eople of a coimtry established on the feudal principle, that citizenship involved spiritual communion. They could not enter the guilds which were foimded on a religious basis, and their possession of land was expressly opposed by the monks on the ground that this would put into their hands spiritual benefices. Their social isolation was intensified by the hatred with which they were regarded as the arch-enemies of the Church, the sole exception to the consensus of Europe in favour of Christian doctrine. It is characteristic that the chief outbreak of popular fury against them — the heroic episode of York Castle — took place when the Crusading fever reached its height in England, and that the Expulsion took place imder the king who, after Richard I., was most imbued with the Crusading spirit. Nor were the Jews uninfluenced by the same spirit ; it is recorded that in 1211 no less than three hundred Eabbis of France and England started for a pilgrimage to the Holy Land.
The worsening of the condition of the Jews can be distinctly traced to the religious revival in England due to the Franciscans. The Lateran Council of 1215 accentuated the isolation of the Jews by ordering them to wear a distinctive mark, which in England took the characteristic form of a piece of cloth attached to the upper garment, in the shape of the two tablets of the Law as seen in the synagogues to the present day (see No. 14). Synagogues in many instances were handed over to the Church on trivial pretexts. There is some indication that the enmity of the Church was embittered by the spread of Judaism among certain classes. One Jewish list of martyrs includes twenty-two proselytes burnt in England, and even if the number be exaggerated, there is other evidence of Jewish proselytism in England. The Church met the movement by establishing a conversionist establishment in " New Street," on the site of the present Record Office (see No. 11), where converts were supported for life ; this building was used for the purpose down to the time of Charles II. (see Public Record Exhibits, No. 50), and thus gave evidence of Jews in England at all periods from the Expulsion to the re-admission.
The time came when the need of a special class of capitalists and of the special kind of taxation was no longer felt. From that moment the fate of the Jews in England was fixed, and it came significantly enough in the extension of the Canon Law about usury to the Jews, in the first Parliament of Edward I., immediately after his return from the Holy Land (see Brit.
Introduction.
Mus. Exhibits, No. 33). When usury was denied to the Jews, they ceased to have a locus standi in the country. They could not hold land, nor enter any trade, owing to their religion ; and to have rescinded these restrictions argued an amount of toleration impossible to expect in a European countrj^ in the Middle Ages. The Expulsion of 1290 followed logically on the anti- usury enactment of 1275, and we can only conjecture that the intermediate jieriod was filled with the necessary rearrangement of the national finances, which chiefly took the form of substituting for the Jews, Cahorsins, and Italians, who had not the religious difficvilties. It is right to add that as far as their anomalous position admitted of it, scrupulous justice was done to Jews in their negotiations ; and that the ordinary idea of their general ill-treatment is based on a few popular outbreaks uncontrollable by the authorities. Their lX)sition, as unofficial tax-gatherers, ensured their general good treatment on the part of the kings, excej^t in the case of John. The inherent difficulty of the Jewish position in England during this period was the difference of creed, which prevented their belonging to the nation unless they belonged to the National Church. To expect the Church to have contravened this funda- mental principle would be to anticipate history by six centuries. To expect the Jews to renounce their creed would be to neglect the experience ot twenty centuries. The two positions were irreconcilable, and the Jews had to leave England when the law of the Churqh was extended to them.
The relics of their stay, collected in the present Exhibition, are exceedingly scanty, as is natural when we reflect how few remains there are prior to the fourteenth century. A few stone dwelling-houses (Nos. 5 to 9), which the Jews were about the first to build, a few local names, a couple of cari- catures in which Jews are characteristically enough represented as " sons of the devil" (Nos. 14, 15), and a bronze ewer (No. 1), almost exhaust the list. A grammatical work (No. 515), some Hebrew poems, by Meir of Norwich, now in the Vatican, and a couple of works of an eminent Spanish Jew, Abraham ibn Ezra, written while in the " island of the corner of the earth" ( = Angleterre), are the sole records of their literary activity. But from their quasi-official position, it is natural that the chief records should be in the public documents of the time. There is scarcely a single one of these before 1290 that has not some reference to Jews; and there were also whole series of rolls devoted exclusively to the pleadings and tallages of the Jews (Record Office Exhibits, No. 3). Besides these there are still extant more than two hundred Hebrew documents termed Shetaroth,* which are nearly all shown in the present Exhibition. As these form our only guide to the inner life of the Jewish communities at the time, albeit mainly confined to their legal relations, the Committee of the Exhibition has entrusted their publication, together with English abstracts, to Mr. M. D. Davis, who has made the subject a life-long study.
* Hebrew 1t2J^, " conti-cact," Latinised as starrum and starra. It used to be said that the Star Chamber received its name from having been the receptacle of these documents, and it is difficult to see how such a tradition could have arisen without foundation^in fact, whereas the camera stellata can be easily enough explained as a folk-etymology of this.

I. — Historic Selics and Records.
Before leaving this section of Anglo-Jewish history, we may refer to the impression left on the jwpular mind by the jwculiar position of the Jews. Eeligious opposition fixed upon the Jews crimes which the same principle had attributed to the early Christians ; and the crime of child murder for ritual purposes was first brought against the Jews in England. The charge was undoubtedly believed in, and many Jews sufi"ered for it ; but modern cases Lave shown its utter baselessness, which also comes out on careful exami- nation of the original records. But the combined ideas of cruelty and usury become connoted with the name of Jew in the popular mind, and have been made a part of English literature by Marlowe and Shakesjxjare. Strangely enough, perhaps the most enduiing survival of the pre-Expulsiou period ii?- the popular impression that all Jews are rich usurers — a proposition roughly true of that periotl, but ludicrously beside the fact at the present day, in a community which unfortunately has a larger proix)rtion of poor than any other in England.
Though the Jews were thus expelled the realm, we have traces of them in England in one fonn or another during the interim. We find in the fourteenth century the Commons complaining that many professing to te Italians were in realitj'- Jews. In the fifteenth the Spanish ambassador complains to Henry YII. of the asylum afforded the expelled Spanish Jews in England, and in the sixteenth Elizabeth's physician, Eodrigo Loi)ez, and P. Ferdinandus, teacher of Hebrew at Cambridge, were among Jews known to be in this country. And throughout, the " House of Converts " found a supply of men and women ready to forswear their faith for the material comforts it offered them. But no return of the Jews as a body could become possible till the State recognised the legality of difference of creed. Cromwell first did this as an Independent, and it is to Cromwell that the Jews owe their readmission to England.
The date of the return is fixed approximately by the lease of the Spanish and Portuguese burial-ground at Stepnej', dated February 1657 (see No. 52). Except with regard to the specific nature of the assurances given to the Jews by Cromwell, the events which led up to the resettlement are tolerably clear. The motives of the Dutch supporters of Menasseh ben Israel Avere mainly commercial. The agitation against the monopoly of the companies of Eastern merchants in England, and the attempts of Cromw-ell to render the trade free, had stimulated a new activity on the part of English shippers, and, in the middle of the seventeenth century, the Dutch were feeling acutely the commercial competition of the English in the East Indies. None were more deeply interested in that branch of trade than the Jews of Amsterdam, and hence it became desirable for them to be able to establish correspondents and agencies in England without hindrances or risk. At the same time events had been preparing the English people to consider the question of the return in a favourable spirit. The Puritans had given an Old Testament bias to Christian thought, and the Messianic pretensions of Sabbathai Zevi had helped to strengthen the conviction that some kind of fulfilment of prophecy by means of the Jew's was at hand. The question how to propitiate the Jews exercised men's minds, and in 1649 culminated in a formal petition to Lord Fairfax and the General Council of Officers for their recall. It is stated that
Introduction.
this petition was " favourably received " (see Xo. 820). No action resulted from it, however, but during the next few years the question seems to have been continuously before the public. Towards the end of 1655 Menasseh ben Israel (see No. 947), who, from his home in Amsterdam, had sent more than one communication to the Protector and other leading men in England, personally visited London with a view to obtaining an authoritative jDermis- sion for his co-religionists to dwell again in that country. The course of his mission is marked in the State papers and other documents shown in the supplementary exhibitions held at the Record Office and the British Museum (see R. 0. Nos. 37 to 43 ; B. M. No. 36). Notwithstanding the personal interest of Cromwell, no formal permission was granted by the Council of State for the Jews to take up their abode in England ; but some unofficial authorisation was obtained from the Protector by which Menasseh's followers were enabled to meet privately for prayer (see E. 0. No. 43), and to acquire a burial-place. Without such a licence it is obvious that they would not have purchased the Stepney graveyard, to which reference has been made.
The history from this date divides itself into two parts — an external and and an internal history ; the former recording the successive stages in the struggle for emancipation, the latter tracing the gradual growth, organisation, and development of the community. From the nature of the connivance by which the Jews had settled in the country their position was at first equivocal and precarious. They were both aliens and dissenters, and, as such, liable to all kinds of petty persecution at the hands of common informers. Their individual denization was opposed by the mercantile public ; they were indicted for worshipping in the synagogue, and on one occasian (1685) a crowd of them were arrested at the Royal Exchange for not attending church. As late as 1835, not only could no Jew sit in Parliament, but he was prevented from holding any civil or military office under the Crown or any situation in corporate bodies. Pie might be excluded from practising at the bar, or as an attorney or notary, from voting at elections, and from taking degrees at the Universities.
The first legislative attempts at partial emancipation were made outside England — in the American colonies and Ireland. In 1740 an Act of Parlia- ment was passed providing for the naturalisation of foreigners and others, including Jews, after seven years' residence in British colonies. This measure was hampered by so many restrictions and conditions that it was almost useless. The second attempt (1745) was a Platonic demonstration on behalf of religious liberty by the Irish House of Commons — there being scarcely any Jews in Ireland at the time, — but it also proved abortive, in consequence of the hostility of the Peers. One result of the Irish Bill was the establishment of the Board of Deputies (see No. 614), which was formed to watch the i^rogress of the measure, and which has continued its existence to the present time. In 1753 the first serious efl'ort to place the Jews on an equality with their fellow-countrymen was made by the famous " Jew Bill." This measure, which was initiated in the Lords, and received the assent of both the Commons and the Crown, provoked an unexampled outburst of intolerance in the country. Partisans of the Bill were mobbed, and the country was flooded with ribald broadsheets and caricatures, in which every species of
G I. — Historic Belies and Becords.
obloquy was heaped on the unofl'entliug Hebrews. Tlie Ministry liecamo alarmed, and quickly introduced and passed another Bill to re\ye&\ the obnoxious measure. By this display of intolerance the progress of Jewish emanci])ation was seriously retarded, and it was not until IB^O that the question was again brought before tlie 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 reixjal of the Test and Corporation Act in 1828. Sir Isaac Lyon Goldsmid, Mr. N. M. Rothschild, Sir David Salomons, and Sir Moses Montefiore, 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 Repeal 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 pubhc 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 Avas 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 Bolls (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 Ministrj". 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. 1119).
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 jjeaceful. The only disturbing feature was the Reform Movement of 1840 —
Pre-Expidsion Period.
a movement the significance of wliicli 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, in the documents rehxting to public institutions, the relics of public men, and the notes appended to the entries of portraits of communal celebrities and other exhibits.

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 Ellas, 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 clamoiir 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 hfty-second year of the reign of King Henry [7 Dec, 1267]. And there came upon them Walter the Goldsmith, Bailiff [half a mark] and Eobert 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 tlieir 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 i'or 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 jirison. 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.
