Rare Spinoza Volume Discovered

NEW YORK — A com-
plete Latin edition of the
philosophical works of
Baruch Spinoza, published
in 1677, the year of the
philosopher's death, has
been discovered at the
Jewish Theological Semi-'
nary...Bound in calf with
handwritten notes on the fly
leaves, the volume had been
housed in the rare book
room of the Seminary's li-
brary, but no one knew just
how rare it was until , a visit-
ing Dutch philosophy pro-
fessor announced in as-
tonishment that it was
probably the only surviving
copy.
Prof. H. G. Hubbeling of
the University of
Groningen had come to the
Seminary for the opening
session of the Conference on
the Philosophy of Spinoza.
He quickly explained that
he and his colleagues at the
Dutch Spinoza Society had
spent years searching for
this very volume, the last
known copy of which was
rumored to have been de-
stroyed in Hamburg, Ger-
many, during World War II.
The Seminary had ac-
quired the two part volume
in 1953 and displayed it
only on the occasion of the
conference. The first part
appears to be earlier works
especially reprinted or
bound together for the edi-
tion while the second part
was published in Amster-
dam by Jan Rieuwertz im-
mediately after Spinoza's
death.

The three-day confer-
ence, attended by more
than 100 international
scholars and students,
considered Spinoza both

Levin's 'Harvest'
Presented to
Jewish Library

NEW YORK — A tradi-
tion was perpetuated when
the manuscript of Meyer
Levin's latest novel "The
Harvest" was presented to
the Jewish National and
University Library (JNUL)
at a reception honoring
Levin May 11 at the Uni-
versity House of the Ameri-
can Friends of the Hebrew
University.
The manuscript, accord-
ing to reception chairman
Lyman G. Bloomingdale,
will join the manuscript of
Levin's earlier work "The
Settlers" and other literary
works in the Meyer Levin
Collection established at
the JNUL by Charles E.
Feinberg of Detroit, chair-
man of the Library Advi-
sory Council of the Friends
of the Hebrew University.

Reunion Is Held

HARTFORD, Conn.
(JTA) — Some 300 of the
800 Hartford area residents
who visited Israel in
January as part of the
Friendship Flight exchange
or hosted an Israeli family
who came here, had a re-
union at the new Hartford
Jewish Community Center
Day Camp as part of a
celebration of Israel's 30th
anniversary.

Human Chain
Peace Petition

JERUSALEM (JTA) — A
petition urging Premier
Menahem Begin to modify
his policies in the interests
of peace was passed hand-
to-hand last week along a
human chain extending for
some 10 miles from the
heart of Jerusalem into the
hills surrounding the city.
Spokesmen for the Peace
Now movement which or-
ganized the demonstration,
estimated that 4,000 men,
women and children par-
ticipated.
The demonstration was
the latest in a mounting
grass roots campaign de-
manding that the govern-
ment give peace priority
over territories and a so-
called Greater Israel. Many
of the participants carried
banners saying "Peace Now
Is Not a Dream."

Among the newer
theories that emerged in the
concluding session was the
proposal by Prof. Harry V.
Jaffa of Claremont's Men's
College in California that
Spinoza's ideas on democ-
racy directly influenced
Thomas Jefferson and other
founding fathers of
America.
The conference sought to
stimulate renewed research
into the works of the con-
troversial Dutch
philosopher who was ex-
communicated as a heretic
by the rabbinate in Amster-
dam. _ _ _

Rabbi Worried
by Alcohol Abuse

NEW YORK (JTA) — A
Reform rabbi active in corn-
batting alcoholism among
Jews has challenged the
widespread assumption
that a close correlation
exists between commitment
to Jewish observance and
freedom from alcohol addic-
tion.
_Rabbi Sheldon Zimmer-
man of the Central
Synagogue in Manhattan,
who proposed a task force on
the problem to the Commis-
sion on Synagogue Rela-
tions of the New York Fed-
eration of Jewish Philan-
thropies, raised the
observance-addiction issue
in a recent report in Sh'ma.
The task force was estab-
lished in 1975.
Zimmerman also de-
clared that "special work' .
must be done with young
Jews because "the incidence
of alcohol abuse is spread.
ing among the youth both in
high school and college."

The Name Game

TEL AVIV (JTA) — A

talitarian regimes as well
as for those of us who are
determined to ensure that
such horrors will never re-
cur."
