	Uriel Acosta - LoveToKnow 1911
		His father being a convert to Christianity, Uriel was brought up in the Roman Catholic faith, and strictly observed the rites of the church till the course of his inquiries led him, after much painful doubt, to abandon the religion of his youth for Judaism.
		Unlike Spinoza (who was about fifteen at the time of Acosta's death), Acosta was not strong enough to stand alone.
		Acosta was not an original thinker, but he stands in the direct line of the rational Deists.

	Jose De Acosta - LoveToKnow 1911
		He joined the Jesuits in 1551, and in 1571 was sent as a missionary to Peru; he acted as provincial of his order from 1576 to 1581, was appointed theological adviser to the council of Lima in 1582, and in 1583 published a catechism in Quichua and Aymara - the first book printed in Peru.
		Returning to Spain in 1587, and placing himself at the head of the opposition to Acquaviva, Acosta was imprisoned in 1592-1593; on his submission in 1594 he became superior of the Jesuits at Valladolid, and in 1598 rector of the Jesuit college at Salamanca, where he died on the 15th of February 1600.
		Apart from his sophistical defence of Spanish colonial policy, Acosta deserves high praise as an acute and diligent observer whose numerous new and valuable data are set forth in a vivid style.

	Karl Gutzkow: Uriel Acosta
		Uriel Acosta ist ein Intellektueller avant la lettre, als der Glaube welcher Couleur auch immer es mit der Vernunft und ihren erhellenden Interventionen zu tun bekommt.
		Leider hat Uriel Acosta den reichen Kaufmann Ben Jochai, Judiths Verlobten, während dessen karrierebedingter Abwesenheit, ausgespannt.
		Dann sieht sich Acosta diesem fatalen tableau vivant gegenüber, bestehend aus seiner Mutter, den Brüdern und der Geliebten, die alle darum flehen, dass er das ihnen doch nicht antun könne.

	"Springtime for Spinoza - Forward.com"
		The oft-drawn and always far-fetched connection between Spinoza and Uriel d’Acosta — whose series of excommunications resulted finally in his tragic suicide when Spinoza was only 8 years old — may offer a clue.
		In 1919, “Acosta” became the first major success of Moscow’s Yiddish State Theater, whose director, Alexander Granovsky, eventually also directed the Hebrew version of the play for Berlin’s Hebrew theater, Ha-Bimah, in 1930.
		In fact, “Acosta” was the very last Hebrew play staged in Germany before Habimah moved to Tel Aviv.

	INTERRACIAL VOICE - From the Editor (Charles Michael Byrd)
		"He is a freethinker, Baruch." And then his father explained how Acosta had been expelled from the Jewish congregation because he had questioned their religion; and how the members of the congregation were now "stamping" the sins out of him before his readmission into the synagogue.
		That afternoon, as he was playing in the street, he tried to express his sympathy for the victim; but one of his playmates struck him in the face.
		In 1656, the elders of the same Amsterdam synagogue that had excommunicated Acosta sixteen years earlier did the same to twenty-four year-old Baruch Spinoza.

		Baruch (Benedict) Spinoza was born in Amsterdam in 1632 into a Sephardic Jewish community many of whom had reconverted from Catholicism to Judaism.
		A key event in the life of this community was the case of Uriel D'Acosta whose ambivalences about faith resulted in several excommunications and re-admissions to the Amsterdam Jewish community, culminating in his eventual suicide.
		Spinoza was only eight at the time, but grew up in the aftermath of this tragedy.
