In addition to his friendships with Péguy, with whom he became involved in the Dreyfus camp, Isaac was passionate about the truth, "Truth became my golden rule, the free and scrupulous search for truth, the law of my life. (1877-1963). 7 autograph letters sometimes signed with his monogram to Cletta Mayer. Aix from 1956 to 1962. 13 p.in-8. He regrets not having been able to dedicate copies of his book, probably his historical essay "Genesis of anti-Semitism" published by Calmann-Lévy in 1956. He says, "but when the book came out I was undergoing treatment". He was delighted to learn that the Centre d'Etudes had ordered a large number of copies, "and I owe you a thousand thanks for the support given". He thinks that Carl Th.reyer has left for Israel because he has not heard from him and hopes that he will keep his promises. In February 1962, Isaac seems very concerned and anxious about the current events, consequences of the Algerian conflict. "Everything that has just happened, everything that is happening is like the prodrome of a revolution, but a revolution, I fear, that can only lead to the massacre of the revolutionaries, to new days of June... Now we are at a decisive moment of negotiations with the FLN. And it seems to me that this commands everything. After the university day of February 6, a day of the same type in favor of Algerian peace would have been infinitely desirable. But these street battles, where will they lead us?" An English publisher asked him for an option of three months for a possible translation of "Jesus and Israel", and he learned that the little book published by Fasquelle Editions will bear another title... "To finish with the teaching of contempt". The visit of Chief Rabbi Joseph Kaplan allowed him to be informed of his meeting with Cardinal Bea. He assured him that he had insisted that the rabbinate should not oppose sending Jewish observers to the Council when the Jewish question was discussed.
