Account of the Dutch Jews ; with a Hymn by Da Costa , who is said to have lately embraced Christianity . ( From " The Inquirer , " No . IV . ) T I ^ HE Spanish and Portuguese Jews , JL from whom the most distinguished of th £ Dutch Hebrew families are descended , were renowned among " their nation for their superior talents and acquirements , ^ and we believe
maintain even to this day an almost universally admitted pre-eminence . Under the tolerant and comparatively enlightened Mahomedan conquerors of Spain , their property was protected ,
their toleration was encouraged , and their persons loaded with favours . Their writers boast with delight and enthusiasm of " the glory , splendour and prosperity in which they lived . " Their schools in the south of the
Peninsula were the channels through which the knowledge of the East was spread over western and northern Europe . Abenezra , Maimonides , and Kimki , three of the most illustrious ornaments of the synagogue , rank among * the Spanish Jews . Throughout the twelfth and thirteenth
centuries , while knowledge among Christians seemed at the lowest ebb , the catalogue of Hehrew writers is most extensive and most varied . Mathematics , medicine , and natural
philosophy , were all greatly advanced under their auspices ; while the pursuits of poetry and oratory adorned their pages . They obtained so much consideration , that the ancestors of almost every noble family in Spain may be traced up to a Jewish head .
The fifteenth and sixteenth centu . l ^ s are crowded with every calamity which could afflict a nation , pursued b y all the blindness of ignorance and all the hatred of infatuated and powerful malevolence . Their sacred books were
destroyed ; their dwellings devastated ; their temples razed ; themselves visited by imprisonment and tortures , by private assassinations and extensive ihtfssacres . When the infamous Fifth Ferdinand established or re-organized the Inquisition in Spain , ^ the Jews were among" its earliests victiriiS .
