English commentary: "This essay will argue that the themes represented by the two Amsterdam Jews, Da Costa and Spinoza, emerged in the artistic imagination as a cultural vision that heralded acculturation in opposition to the rabbinic authority. Their images were appropriated as exemplars of non-tradition forms of expression and as representatived of alternative directions in Jewish life." (p. 47)
