犹太学者Moshe Chaim Luzzatto在2026年的拍卖会上以400,000美元出售, 揭露犹太神学院(JTS)在十年前的金融危机中悄悄地出售了数百本稀有手稿。 A rare 18th-century letter by Jewish scholar Rabbi Moshe Chaim Luzzatto sold for $400,000 at a 2026 auction, revealing that the Jewish Theological Seminary (JTS) had quietly sold off hundreds of rare manuscripts during a financial crisis a decade prior. 出售活动是在没有公开披露的情况下进行的,引起了学者和前工作人员的批评,他们称出售活动是秘密的,破坏文化遗产。 The sale, conducted without public disclosure, drew criticism from scholars and former staff who called it secretive and damaging to cultural heritage. 虽然JTS根据需要为销售进行辩护,并说数字化副本仍然存在,但批评者则认为原始文物不能替换。 While JTS defended the sales as necessary and said digitized copies remain available, critics argue original artifacts cannot be replaced. 受人瞩目的拍卖反映了东正教收藏家对稀有宗教文字(既被视为精神财富又被视为投资)的需求不断增长。 The high-profile auction reflects rising demand among Orthodox collectors for rare religious texts, viewed as both spiritual treasures and investments.
