What are the sources to label Johann Christoph Wagenseil an "anti-Judaism Hebraist" in this text? The english and german wikipedia articles about him as well as other sources I scanned give no hint he should be labelled as "anti-Judaism". Of course I won't study every text of him and every source about him in smallest detail, but until better explanations are delivered, I'll delete the word "anti-Judaism". The sence of the dispute about Hizzuk Emunah in this text isn't affected by the deletion of the adjective. ThomasPusch (talk) 16:03, 20 December 2014 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for carefully reading the page and trying to improve it. I agree that the sense of the link to him on the page does not get changed by removing the adjective, and the article can remain as you edited it for the time being. But just a first reading of the English entry on him is full of [correct] hints at his strong opposition to Judaism. Just look at how it describes his Latin work where the Hizzuk Emunah was published, and at his petition to the rulers of Europe to restrain Jewish attacks on Christianity. He is indeed a very interesting character, and the paradox seems to be that whereas he was a very harsh critic and detractor of Judaism as a religion, he also at the same time acted in different ways to try and protect the living Jews of his own time, both from false accusations of blood-libel, and possibly even from physical attacks on them by the Christian majority, and direct attempts to kill them. Apparently, as he tried to defend the living Jews of his time from increased violence against them, he was also, at the same time, a very strong and harsh critic of Judaism as a religion.
