English summary: By exploring the significance and function of secrecy and secret sciences in Jewish-Christian relations and in Jewish culture from the Renaissance to the Enlightenment, this study outlines a general theory of secrecy in the early modern and modern period. German text. German description: Die Fruhe Neuzeit war das Zeitalter des Geheimnisses. Selten zuvor und niemals danach hat es in der europaischen Geschichte eine solche Faszination fur Geheimnisse und Geheimhaltung gegeben. Dennoch ist dieser Bereich der Kultur- und Wissenschaftsgeschichte bisher nur wenig erforscht. Daniel Jutte untersucht den fruhneuzeitlichen Geheimnisbegriff, rekonstruiert den Markt fur Geheimnisse und zeigt, dass die judische Minderheit auf diesem Feld eine uberragende Rolle spielte. Ihre Arkankompetenz in der Alchemie, Magie, Spionage und Technologie ist dabei nur ein Beispiel. Warum galten Juden in der christlichen Mehrheitsgesellschaft als Huter eines genuinen geheimen Wissens? Die Studie bringt nicht nur neue Erkenntnisse fur die judische Geschichte, sondern auch fur die allgemeine Wissenschafts- und Kulturgeschichte.
