summary

A collection of judicial opinions centering upon the case of one Baruch Levi (later Joseph-Jean-François Elie), a converted Jew of Hagenau (Alsace), who sought to marry a Christian woman without having obtained a divorce from his Jewish wife, who in turn, refused to convert to Christianity. The French Parliament subsequently upheld the decision against Levi by the ecclesiastical court of Soissons.
