At first, the small Judaica library of about 2,500 volumes was housed in a room near the entrance to the synagogue. By 1884 the collection had grown to 2,850 titles of printed Hebraica bound in 3,800 volumes and close to 3,000 titles of non-Hebrew books.

This remark, apparently dating from early 1634, is one of the few comments about Jewish matters written by Samuel Hartlib in his Ephemerides during the 1630s. It is doubtful whether Hartlib had encountered real Jews by that time either in East Prussia, where the presence of Jews was negligible until the mid-seventeenth century, or in England, where Jews had been forbidden to live since they were driven out in 1290. However, he had no diffi culty in accepting statements of the kind made by Sir Thomas Roe. The repertory of images belonging to Hartlib and his circle regarding the Jews was nourished by stereotypes that had been deeply rooted in European consciousness since the Middle Ages and had become commonly accepted.2 Rumours about the bad odour of the Jews found their way into Christian European culture from the epigrams of Martial and the writings of Marcellinus, and as early as the sixth century Venantius Honorius Clementianus Fortunatus was able to tell about fi ve hundred Jews whose foul odour was removed by baptism: ‘Ablitur judaeus odor baptismate divo, Aspersusque sacro fi t gregis alter odor.’3 The information received by Hartlib in a letter sent to him from Rotterdam on 4 May 1645 regarding the ‘Experiment of making stinking water sweete,’ most likely referred in some way, perhaps indirectly, to this matter:
这句话显然可以追溯到1634年初,是塞缪尔·哈特利布在1630年代写的《星历记》中对犹太人问题的少数评论之一。令人怀疑的是,哈特利布当时是否在东普鲁士遇到了真正的犹太人,在那里,直到17世纪中叶,犹太人的存在都可以忽略不计,或者在英国,犹太人自1290年被驱逐后就被禁止居住。然而,他毫无困难地接受了托马斯·罗伊爵士的这类陈述。属于哈特利布和他的圈子的关于犹太人的一系列形象,是由自中世纪以来深深植根于欧洲意识并已被普遍接受的刻板印象所滋养的关于犹太人难闻气味的谣言从马夏尔的格言和马塞利努斯的著作中进入基督教欧洲文化,早在六世纪,维纳提乌斯·霍诺里乌斯·克莱门提努斯·福尔图纳斯就能告诉500名犹太人,他们的臭味通过洗礼被去除:“Ablitur judaeus odor baptismate divo, Aspersusque sacro fi t gregis alter odor。”3哈特利布在1645年5月4日从鹿特丹寄给他的一封信中收到了关于“使臭水变甜的实验”的信息,很可能以某种方式(也许是间接地)提到了这件事:
