= Tiele 318; Cordier 488; Alt-Japan-Katalog 422. Hendrik Doeff (1777-1835) was president of the Dutch factory at Decima. The present work is based on Doeff's memories of his 18 year long stay in Japan from 1801-1819, during which he gained practically unsurpassed knowledge of Japan and Japanese culture. On his return to Holland, the ship on which he and his pregnant wife travelled was shipwrecked. Apart from the sad loss of his (pregnant) wife, he also lost all his papers in the shipwreck, and as a result had to write these memoirs from memory. On Doeff in extenso J.

- Foxed/ browned throughout. Vellum soiled.
= Rare anti-semitic work. The first edition of 1700 was suppressed by the Austrian Emperor Leopold I at the request of the Jewish community, who feared an anti-semitic backlash from publication of the work. The 2000 printed copies were kept away from the public for 51 years. In the meantime the Prussian King Frederick I allowed the heirs of Eisenmenger to publish a second edition of the book in 1711. Its contents formed the "scientific" basis for anti-semitism by "proving" through quotations from Hebrew sources that Jewish thought was anti-Christian.

= "Voltaire preferred to concentrate his attacks on the Old Testament and its followers, the Jews; this he did in such a manner that in anti-Semitic campaigns in the following centuries he was used as an authority and frequently quoted. From the psychological point of view it seems that the anti-Semitism of Voltaire, far from being a tactical stratagem, expressed in the facility of his attacks against the Jews, was primarily a result of his hatred for the Church. (...) Historically speaking, Voltaire's outlook was a powerful contribution to the creation of the mental climate which made possible the emancipation of the Jews, but at the same time it prepared the ground for the future racial anti-Semitism." (Encycl. Jud.).
