LE JUIF ERRANT - 100 consecutive issues. Paris 1860-1861


LE JUIF ERRANT Journal of the Romans, Voyages and Illustrations, Paraissant le Mercredi et Samedi - The Wandering Jew - a Serialized magazine on the 'Wandering Jew'. One hundred consecutive issues published over the course of a full year: 1-101. Paris, from March 31, 1860 - March 16, 1861. From the early publications published continuously on the subject of "The Wandering Jew" in France.


At the cover of each sheet is a painting of the wandering Jewish figure, and an antisemitic plot story usually in the medieval atmosphere.

The legend of the wandering Jew is based on The Middle Ages anti-Semitic folk tale about the Jew who, because he lost his death, could not lose his life, and therefore occasionally appears in different forms and plays different roles. The legend originated in 1228 in a story about a Christian priest who met a Jew (And according to one version Jesus himself who met a Jewish shoemaker on the way to his death), and it served as an object of various anti-Semitic stories about the Jews that appeared in caricatures mainly in nineteenth-century France, portraying the wandering Jew as a foreign threat to human society.


416, 416 p. 100 consecutive sheets. 32 cm. Few stains. Original cover with gilt  on spine. Loose spine. Stains. Good condition.
