Pinkas Fulda, Flexibler Einband

Klappentext

The minute books of Jewish communities, in Hebrew Pinkassim, belong to the most valuable sources of Jewish history. The Pinkas of the Jewish community of Fulda is a telling example of the partial autonomy, which Jews enjoyed in the hierarchically ordered, group-based society of the Holy Roman Empire. It throws light on the norm-making capacity of the Jewish community of Fulda and many of the day-to-day challenges it faced. A critical commentary helps the reader to relate the original text, partially translated from Judeo-German and Hebrew into English to extant research.
