In the early seventeenth century, members of Amsterdam’s Portuguese Jewish community assembled a significant collection of Jewish—and especially Sephardi—literature that served as a crucial resource for scholars, religious leaders, and students. This article explores Jewish and Christian models that may have shaped the project of book collecting; it traces the changing perception of book collecting in the community; and it identifies shifts in the cultural profile of the texts being collected. The arrival of Ashkenazi immigrants fleeing war in eastern Europe spurred the collection of new texts, and the blending of Ashkenazi and Sephardi Jewish cultures.

从盒子和橱柜到书店:在1620年至1665年在阿姆斯特丹建立前国会议员的犹太图书馆
在17世纪初期,阿姆斯特丹的葡萄牙犹太社区成员聚集了一大批犹太人文学,尤其是塞帕迪(Sephardi)文学,为学者,宗教领袖和学生提供了至关重要的资源。本文探讨了可能影响藏书计划的犹太和基督教模型。它追溯了社区中藏书的变化观念;它可以识别所收集文字的文化特征的变化。东欧逃离战争的阿什肯纳兹移民的到来刺激了新文本的收集,以及阿什肯纳兹和塞帕尔迪犹太文化的融合。
