"Mardarins, Jews and
Missionaries" by Michael
Pollak (Jewish Publication,
Society), tells the amazing
story of those almost forgot-
ten bands of Jews who wan-
dered into China centuries
ago and with the passage of
time blended physically and
psychologically into the
general • population, al-
though managing to remain
until fairly recently a dis-
tinctly identifiable Jewish
entity.
Most particularly, the
book deals with the last of
the several Jewish colonies
that once dotted the
Chinese Empire, the com-
munity that was estab-
lished in the Sung capital of
Kaifeng, in Honan Prov-
ince, between the 10th and
12th Centuries and that
still owned a synagogue as
late as the mid-1800s.
This fascinating account
of an exotic offshoot of Israel
also relates how the Jews of
Kaifeng, following their
discovery in 1605 by a
Jesuit priest, Father Matteo
Ricci, entered into the
European imagination of
the time, stirring up a hor-
net's nest of curiosity and
controversy among both
Christians and Jews.
