The Ideal of Emancipation of the Romanian Jews: From the Proclamation of Islaz to the 1866 Constitution

Summary/Abstract: The present study deals with the issue of emancipation of the Romanian Jews in the years 1848-1866. It analyzes the historical documents which marked this period (the programs of the 48-er movement, the decrees of the provisional government, the 1864 Civil Code, the 1866 Constitution) and the attitudes of the political-literary personalities regarding the “Jewish question”, which was (already) on the agenda at that time. Thus, the study attempts to uncover the factors which eventually led to the failure of the emancipation promised by the Proclamation of Islaz.
