Cursed be he by day and cursed be he by night; cursed be he when he lies down,
and cursed be he when he rises up; cursed be he when he goes out, and cursed be
he when he comes in.The Lord will not pardon him; the anger and wrath of the
Lord will rage against this man, and bring upon him all the curses which are
written in the Book of the Law, and the Lord willdestroy his name from under the
Heavens(Wolf 1927:146)Thus did the wardens of the Amsterdam synagogue
excommunicate the 24-year-old BaruchSpinoza, on 27 July 1656. The record of
excommunication mentions horrible heresies whichhe practised and taught and
monstrous actions which he performed. The content of theheresies can be
reconstructed from contemporary-1-reports of his beliefs and from his writings.
Spinoza held unorthodox views on the nature of God and of the human soul, on
immortality and on the status of prophecy. Spinozas early biographers make it
clear that his views were widely despised. The nature of the monstrousdeeds
mentioned in the record of excommunication is more difficult to determine.There
are two old biographies of Spinoza. One was written by a Lutheran clergyman,
JohanCohlerLatinized as Colerusand first published in 1705. The other, by
Jean MaximilianLucasa freethinking French refugee living in Hollandis thought
to have been writtensoon after Spinozas death in 1677, though not published
until 1719.

Colerus describesSpinozas physical appearance: He was of a middle size, he
had good features in his Face,the Skin somewhat black, black curld Hair, long
Eye-brows, and of the same Colour, so thatone might easily know by his Looks
that he was descended from Portuguese Jews (Pollock 1899:394). Spinozas
doctrines are presented by Colerus as impious, absurd andpernicious; but
he grudgingly acknowledges the integrity and amiability of the character from
which they issued.The older biography makes the allegation of monstrous
actions even less plausible. Lucas,who knew Spinoza personally, presents him as
a lover of solitude, enjoying nonetheless thecompany of the real men of
learning who sought him out in The Hague, where he eventuallysettled. Lucas
offers a picture of a man given over to a passionate love of learning,
butdelighting too in the joys of sociabilitya lover of company who was not
dependent on theadmiration of others. His Spinoza is a man with a well-
seasoned wit, whose misfortuneresulted not from monstrous deeds but from his
being too good and too enlightened. Lucasstresses Spinozas freedom from
concern with fame or appearances. When he was dyingSpinoza requested that his
name should not be put on the
Ethics,
saying that such affectationswere unworthy of a philosopher. Lucas reports, too,
that Spinoza consciously avoided the
