Review # 1 was written on 2012-03-13 00:00:00 Brent Tripet Philadelphia The Jewish Publication Society of America 1916 TRANSLATED FROM THE RUSSIAN BY I. FRIEDLAENDER VOLUME I: FROM THE BEGINNING UNTIL THE DEATH OF ALEXANDER I (1825) Opening: CHAPTER I THE JEWISH DIASPORA IN EASTERN EUROPE 1. The Jewish Settlements on the Shores of the Black Sea From the point of view of antiquity the Jewish Diaspora in the east of Europe is the equal of that in the west, though vastly its inferior in geographic expansion and spiritual development. It is even possible that the settlement of Jews in the east of Europe antedates their settlement in the west. For Eastern Europe, beginning with Alexander the Great, received its immigrants from the ancient lands of Hellenized Asia, while the immigration into Western Europe proceeded in the main from the Roman Empire, the heir to the Hellenic dominion of the East.
