The Inquisitor General of Spain has fulminated his anathema against a work recently introduced into that country, entitled "The Coming of the Messiah in his Glory and Majesty" by John Joseph Ben Ezra. He orders all the copies of this work to be delivered up, and prohibits it being in future sold, kept, read, or printed, under the pain of the grand excommunication, and a fine of 200 ducats to defray the expenses of the Holy Office. He says the book has occasioned much disorder and anxiety in the minds of many persons, the learned as well as the unlearned.
