它如此受欢迎，以至于在1651年重新发行，1652年再次发行。它激起了许多回应，特别是爱德华·斯宾塞爵士的《致博学的马纳塞·本·以色列的书信》，其中认真考虑了可能在英国重新安置犹太人的条件。他的书在英国引起的兴趣无疑使梅纳西·本·伊斯雷尔的思想集中在这个问题上，因此最终促成了他1655年前往伦敦的使命。正如书名所示，这本书本身关注的是以色列的救世主救赎，它的出发点是一位名叫安东尼奥·德·蒙特齐诺斯的旅行者声称在现在的哥伦比亚发现了以色列十个失落部落之一的后裔。正是这份报告，引起了基督教千禧一代教徒的浓厚兴趣，促使杜里进行了调查。梅纳西·本·伊斯雷尔比较详细地讨论了美洲印第安人的起源和失落部落的下落这两个问题。他驳斥了广泛接受的印第安人是以色列人后裔的观点，但接受了蒙特齐诺斯关于美国存在以色列人的证据。他认为，分散的以色列人民的救赎近在咫尺，并将西班牙宗教裁判所与但以理七世的第四只野兽相提并论。他的工作证明了博学赢得了像雨果格罗修斯，G.J.沃斯和P.D.休特等人的钦佩，是犹太学术和救世主信仰的重要文件，在环境中产生了斯宾诺莎和安息日运动。它的持久影响可以通过它在不同地方和语言重新出版的次数来衡量，包括整个19世纪在东欧生产的大量希伯来语版本。由于与英语的联系，关于梅纳西·本·以色列的英文作品一直不乏。卢西安·沃尔夫在《梅纳西·本·以色列的奥利弗·克伦威尔使团》(1901年)中收录了《以色列的希望》的英文文本，塞西尔·罗斯在他的《梅纳西·本·以色列、拉比、印刷者和外交官的一生》(1934年)中全面介绍了该书出版和随后的伦敦使命的情况。现在亨利·梅丘兰和杰拉德·纳洪已经完成了法语翻译(令人惊讶的是，这是基于西班牙语版本，几乎与拉丁语原文同时出版，显然是为了供犹太人阅读)。对于这一点，他们增加了一个冗长和详细的介绍，将其背景下的工作在阿姆斯特丹犹太社区和17世纪中期的新教弥赛亚教，并追溯其后续的影响。梅纳西·本·伊斯雷尔的肖像敏感、见多识广、富有同情心，他被誉为当今犹太-基督教对话的奠基人，这在一定程度上是公正的。
such popularity that it was reissued in 1651 and again in 1652. It provoked a number of responses, and notably Sir Edward Spencer's Epistle to the learned Manasse ben Israel, which seriously considered the terms of a possible Jewish resettlement in England. The interest aroused by his book in England no doubt focused Menasseh ben Israel's mind on this question, and so contributed eventually to his mission to London in 1655. The book itself is concerned, as its title suggests, with the messianic redemption of Israel, and it takes its starting-point from the claim by a traveller named Antonio de Montezinos to have discovered descendants of one of the ten lost tribes of Israel in what is now Colombia. It was this report, of passionate interest to Christian millenniarists, that had prompted Dury's enquiry. Menasseh ben Israel discusses in some detail the two questions of the origin of the American Indians and the whereabouts of the lost tribes. He rebuts the widely-accepted view that the Indians are descended from the Israelites, but accepts Montezinos's evidence for the existence of Israelites in America. He argues that the redemption of the scattered people of Israel is close at hand, and identifies the Spanish Inquisition with the fourth beast of Daniel vii. His work testifies to the erudition which won the admiration of such men as Hugo Grotius, G. J. Vos and P. D. Huet, and is an important document of Jewish scholarship and messianic belief in the milieu which produced both Spinoza and the Sabbatian movement. Its enduring influence may be gauged by the number of times it has been republished, in various places and languages, including a spate of Hebrew editions produced in Eastern Europe throughout the nineteenth century. Because of the English connection, there has been no shortage of work on Menasseh ben Israel in English. Lucien Wolf included the English text of the Hope of Israel in Menasseh ben Israel's Mission to Oliver Cromwell (1901), and Cecil Roth gave a full account of the circumstances of the publication of the book and the subsequent mission to London in his Life of Menasseh ben Israel, Rabbi, Printer and Diplomat (1934). Now Henri Mechoulan and Gerard Nahon have produced a French translation (based surprisingly on the Spanish version which was published almost simultaneously with the Latin original and was apparently intended for Jewish consumption). To this they have added a lengthy and detailed introduction, setting the work against its background in the Amsterdam Jewish community and the Protestant messianism of the mid-seventeenth century, and tracing its subsequent influence. The portrait of Menasseh ben Israel is sensitive, informed and sympathetic, and he is hailed with some justice as a founding father of the present-day Jewish-Christian dialogue.
