with musical notation. 16mo. (4) , 132, 4 pages. Only edition. In
German. A compendium of regulations of the City of Leipzig. Of special
interest are the edicts concerning Jews: "Leipziger Juden-Ordnung de
anno 1682." The relationship between this city in Saxony and the Jews
is an anomaly. On the one hand, Jews were banished from Saxony in 1430
- (it took three centuries for them to be readmitted to Leipzig) . On
the other hand, on account of the seasonal Leipzig Fair, the number of
Jewish merchants present in the City would swell to the point that
these visitors were formally authorized to conduct gatherings in their
own prayer-rooms ("Judenschulen") . Indeed, permitted to attend the
Fair were not only German Jews, but Jews of Eastern Europe as well. In
the present text, Johann-Georg III, Duke of Saxony, mandates several
laws concerning Jewish tradesmen and the nature of Jewish participation
in the Fair. In order to attend, the Jew required attestation to his
professional honesty ("ein Ehrlicher Handelsmann") (par. 1) ; he was
forbidden to lodge in the suburbs (par. 2) ; and at all times, he must
be in possession of his various individual passes (pars. 3-6) . Also,
legal-clauses are addressed to the wives, children and servants of the
Jewish tradesmen visiting (pars.10-12) . Of peculiar note: Jewish
musicians were barred from trading altogether (par. 21) . See JE, Vol.

Germany, was a well-known historian. An heir to European Enlightenment,
he was a founded of the idea of the "Science of Judaism. " In that
vein, he fruitlessly hoped that Jewish studies would be taught in
universities as a regular academic discipline, and that he'd be able to
do the teaching. He believed that Jewish literature and learning was
part of the broader scope of human affairs, including the sciences, and
should not be shut up merely in discussions of religious matters. For
his seventieth birthday, a foundation was set up to fund Zunz's and
other similar scholarship. He continued to work until 1874, when his
wife's death left him seriously depressed. (Glatzer, EJ) Ex library.

POESIE. Berlin, 1865. Berlin: Louis Gerschel, 1865. 3/4 Leather 8vo.
Xii, 666. First edition. In German. Leopold Zunz "was the man who
symbolized the 'Science of Judaism'; he was the first to lay down a
detailed program for it, and his works were the first which in practice
contained the methods of research which it was to adopt. By his
idealism and humanistic fervor and by his ambition to introduce the
Jewish cultural heritage into general humanism by and through
scientific study of Judaism, Zunz became the symbol of the whole of the
'Science of Judaism. '" (Benzion Dinur, EJ) Literaturgeschichte der
synagogalen Poesie marks the conclusion of Zunz's pioneering efforts in
the field of synagogue poetry. The work, based on research of 500
manuscripts, records the history of the paytanim and their works up to
1540. His intention was to present an internal history of this
literature, but he did not achieve the fulfillment of this plan. His
bent for bibliography and research was stronger than his talent for
giving form to historical concepts. SUBJECT(S): Hebrew poetry --

Moritz Steinschneider (1816-1907) was a respected Austrian-Jewish
Bibliographer, expert Talmudist, and established secular scientist. He
was an important librarian at the Bodleian Library in London as well as
that of the Royal Library in Berlin. =E2=80=9CIt is a characteristic fe=
ature of
Steinschneider's vast literary activity that he chose fields far
removed from that of theology proper, e. G. , mathematics, philology,
natural history, and medicine, endeavoring t? Ereby to display the part
which the Jews had taken in the general history of civilization
("Kulturgeschichte") . Thus while Zunz had laid the foundations of
Jewish science, Steinschneider completed many essential parts of the
structure. He was the first to give a systematic survey of Jewish
literature down to the end of the eighteenth century, and was the first
also to publish catalogues of the Hebrew books and manuscripts which
are found in the great public libraries of Europe. The gigantic
Bodleian catalogue laid the foundation of his reputation as the
greatest Jewish bibliographer. This and the catalogues of the libraries
of Leyden, Munich, Hamburg, and Berlin, as well as the twenty-one
volumes of his "Hebr=C3=A4ische Bibliographie, " form an inexhaustible=
mine
of information on all branches of Jewish history and literature. =E2=80=

(1903-1998) was a Leipzig born German Jewish librarian, scholar, and
image archivist, now remembered for his extensive image collection
known as the Bettmann archive, established a number of years after his
relocation to New York in 1935. This work, written in Berlin after
Bettmann left a music publishing company and before obtaining his
librarian degree, is a study of Natural and State Right, in the

improvement of the Jewish and Hebrew book; 15 regular publications were
primarily intended to introduce to the Jewish book-world suitable
models to be imitated by the commercial producers. The Society,
therefore, commissioned all the different types of literary products
likely to appear in print, such as scholarly works and periodicals,
novels, short stories, plays, texts illustrated by modern artists, and
reprints of interesting rare books. The texts were chosen from Jewish
literature of all periods and languages. Leading master-printers

, was an
=E2=80=9Cauthor, philosopher, and Zionist. The son of Elijah Klatzkin ,=
a
prominent rabbinical scholar, who gave him a thorough education in all
branches of traditional Jewish studies. At the age of 18, Klatzkin went
to Germany, first to Frankfurt on the Main and then to Marburg, where
he studied philosophy under Hermann Cohen . He received his doctorate
from the University of Berne in 1912. In the following years Klatzkin
was active in Germany as a writer for Hebrew periodicals, including
Ha-Zeman, Ha-Shilo'a? , and Ha-Tekufah, and as editor of Die Welt , the
organ of the Zionist Organization (1909=E2=80=9311) , and later in Heid=
elberg,
of the Freie Zionistische Blaetter. From 1912 to 1915 he was director
of the Jewish National Fund in Cologne. From 1915 to 1919 he edited the
Swiss Bulletin Juif, which covered world events of special relevance to
Jews during World War I and established the publishing firm Al
ha-Mishmar, which issued a series of books on Jewish problems in French
and German. In Berlin Klatzkin founded another publishing house,
Eshkol, and continued writing for the Jewish press. In 1924 he and his
lifelong friend Nahum Goldmann initiated the Encyclopaedia Judaica, of
which ten volumes (to the article "Lyra") appeared between 1928 and
1934. Two volumes of a parallel Hebrew edition, En? Iklopedyah
Yisre'elit, were issued in 1929=E2=80=9332. Klatzkin acted as editor in=
chief
in cooperation with leading Jewish scholars. Although the advent of
Hitler prevented the publication of the remaining volumes, what was
published continues to be an important reference work. After the
curtailment of the publication of the encyclopedia, Klatzkin took
refuge first in Switzerland and then in the U. S. , where he lectured
at the College of Jewish Studies in Chicago. In 1947, after a further
period in New York, he returned to Switzerland. =E2=80=9D (From the 200=

"Science of Judaism" (Wissenschaft des Judentums ). Born the son of the
Talmud scholar Jacob Steinschneider and Hani Zadek-Weizenkorn in
Prossnitz, Moravia, Steinschneider received his early education in his
native town, where he was influenced by his uncle Gideon Brecher. He
also attended a Christian school and studied music, an interest he
maintained throughout his life. Steinschneider's literary output was
tremendous; his bibliography contains more than 1,400 items. His main
lifelong interest was the study of the relationship between Jewish and
general cultures, especially during medieval times. Steinschneider
spent most of his life in the pursuit of his great scholarly projects,
but he also wrote some lighter belletristic and journalistic works. He
also commented - though rarely - on the major contemporary events of
his day and for a while was actively involved in a society founded by
his friend Abraham Benisch , the aim of which was the promotion of
Jewish resettlement in Erez Israel. He withdrew from the group in the
early 1840s and later assumed a very negative attitude toward political
Zionism" (Schmelzer in EJ 2007). OCLC lists 26 copies worldwide.

1931 he was appointed professor of Semitic languages at the University
of Frankfurt, in succession to Josef Horovitz . Weil was dismissed by
the Nazis with the rest of his Jewish colleagues in 1934. From 1935 to
1946 he was head of the National and University Library in Jerusalem
and also held the chair of Turkish studies at The Hebrew University (to
1952) . Weil's main field was Arabic studies, but he had wider Jewish
interests as well and was on the board of various Jewish cultural
institutions in Germany, and a governor of The Hebrew University. World
War I directed his interest to Turkish studies...In 1953 he published
Maimonides Responsum ueber die Lebensdauer (text with German
translation) . On the occasion of his 70th birthday a Festschrift was
issued by the Institute for Oriental Studies of The Hebrew University.

BIOGRAPHISCHES DENKMAL. Frankfurt A. M; R=C3=BCtten & Loening, 1884.
Half-Leather. 8vo. XVII, 413, 482 pages. 23 cm. First edition. In
German. Two Volumes in One. Half leather over red cloth, with
decorative gilt lettering on spine. With frontispiece portrait of
Berthold Auerbach. Title translates as: =E2=80=9CBerthold Auerbach: Let=
ters to
his friend Jacob Auerbach: a biographical memorial. =E2=80=9D =E2=80=9C=
The inner life
of Berthold Auerbach is abundantly illustrated by his works; but it
receives its fullest light and interpretation in his "Briefe an Seinen
Vetter, Jacob Auerbach, " issued by the latter (in accordance with the
author's request) in 1884, with a preface by Spielhagen. These letters
extend over a period of 52 years (1830-82) , and contain in Auerbach's
own words "all that was most important in the development of his
general and individual life. " They form a mirror, in which his every
mood is reflected, and wherein his genuine nature is depicted with an
artlessness and naturalness typical of the man. They form the best
commentary upon his philosophy, politics, and religion; and throughout
them all, two points are constantly expressed; viz. , love for the
Black Forest and enthusiasm for Israel. =E2=80=9D =E2=80=9CAmong Jakob=
Auerbach's
contributions to Jewish history and literature are his essay on
"Lessing and Mendelssohn, " 1867, and a "History of the Jewish
Community of Vienna from 1784." His most valuable work, however, was
the publication of the letters received by him from Berthold Auerbach,
covering the period from the time of the separation of the two friends
at Carlsruhe in April, 1830, to the death of the novelist, Feb. 8,
1883. These letters, which appeared in two volumes under the title
"Berthold Auerbach: Briefe an Seinen Freund Jacob Auerbach, "
Frankfort-on-the-Main, 1884, and in which the whole character and
individuality of Berthold Auerbach were unconsciously revealed, form an
excellent autobiography of the writer. =E2=80=9D (From the 1906 Jewish

Jewish philosophy; son of Jacob Guttmann. In 1903 he received his Ph.
D. At the University of Breslau and in 1906 he was ordained as rabbi by
the Juedisch-Theologisches Seminar of that town. From 1911 he lectured
as Privatdozent in general philosophy at the University of Breslau. In
1919, a year after the death of Hermann Cohen, he received a call from
the Hochschule fuer die Wissenschaft des Judentums in Berlin to serve
as Cohen's successor. He was a professor of Jewish philosophy at that
institute until 1934. In 1922 he was also nominated as the principal of
the Akademie fuer die Wissenschaft des Judentums in that city. A year
after National Socialism took power in Germany, Guttmann fled from the
country and immigrated to Jerusalem, where he became professor of
Jewish philosophy at the Hebrew University. In Jerusalem Guttmann could
shape the philosophical and scholarly groundings for the research of
Jewish philosophy in the new Zionist, Hebrew environment and worked
hand in hand with Gershom Scholem, the founder of modern research in
Kabbalah and Jewish mysticism=E2=80=9D (Amir, EJ, 2011) . OCLC lists on=

religious persuasions, it marked a turning point in the struggle for
emancipation. Riesser demanded emancipation for the Jews in the name of
honor and justice. In his view the claim that the Jews must convert in
order to obtain full civil rights was evidence of contempt for
religion. =E2=80=9D =E2=80=93EJ, 2007. Boards lightly soiled, title pen=

history of the communities which he served (Hamburgs deutsche

(Samuel Oppenheimer und sein Kreis, 1913) and S. Wertheimer and his
descendants (in: Juedische Familienforschung, 1926) . Of more general
historical interest is his anthology of the accounts of Jewish
participants in Napoleon's campaigns (Die Feldzuege Napoleons=E2=80=A6,=
1913) .
Grunwald's main interest, however, was Jewish folklore, and his
contribution in this field is of lasting importance. In 1897 he founded

and
Zionist. Klatzkin was born in Bereza Kartuska, Brest-Litovsk district,
today Belarus. The son of Elijah Klatzkin, a prominent rabbinical
scholar, who gave him a thorough education in all branches of
traditional Jewish studies. At the age of 18, Klatzkin went to Germany,
first to Frankfurt on the Main and then to Marburg, where he studied
philosophy under Hermann Cohen. He received his doctorate from the
University of Berne in 1912. In the following years Klatzkin was active
in Germany as a writer for Hebrew periodicals, including Ha-Zeman,
Ha-Shilo=E2=80=99ah, and Ha-Tekufah, and as editor of Die Welt, the org=
an of
the Zionist Organization, and later in Heidelberg, of the Freie
Zionistische Blaetter. From 1912 to 1915 he was director of the Jewish
National Fund in Cologne. From 1915 to 1919 he edited the Swiss
Bulletin Juif, which covered world events of special relevance to Jews
during World War I and established the publishing firm Al ha-Mishmar,
which issued a series of books on Jewish problems in French and German.
In Berlin Klatzkin founded another publishing house, Eshkol, and
continued writing for the Jewish press. In 1924 he and his lifelong
friend Nahum Goldmann initiated the Encyclopaedia Judaica, of which ten
volumes appeared between 1928 and 1934. Two volumes of a parallel
Hebrew edition, Enziklopedyah Yisre=E2=80=99elit, were issued in 1929=

Klatzkin acted as editor in chief in cooperation with leading Jewish
scholars=E2=80=A6Klatzkin was a student of philosophy as well as a bril=

Hebrew essayist. In philosophy Klatzkin opposed his teacher Cohen,
whose philosophy and interpretation of Judaism he submitted to
searching criticism in the monograph Hermann Cohen. He also devoted a
critical study to Spinoza, Baruch Spinoza, in which he stressed the
Jewish influences in his intellectual background and style; he
translated Spinoza=E2=80=99s Ethics from the Latin to Hebrew as Torat
ha-Middot. Klatzkin developed his own philosophy, which may be
described as vitalistic, emphasizing the biological, instinctive aspect
of life rather than the intellectual one, in Sheki'at ha-? Ayyim, and

unchanged until the day when the foundations of a Jewish political and
social establishment are laid in Palestine and a Sanhedrin can be
elected to modify Jewish law in agreement with the needs of the new

; born May 24,
1811, in K=C3=B6nigsberg, Prussia; died Aug. 5, 1889, in Dresden. [Tho=
ugh
born Jewish. ] In her seventeenth year she entered the Evangelical
Church. In 1831, in company with her father, she made a tour through
Germany and France, prolonging her stay in Breslau and Berlin. In 1834,
to while away the hours of an invalid sister, she wrote a book of
fairy-stories. It was not, however, until 1841 that she entered the
literary arena with a novel entitled "Der Stellvertreter, " published
in serial form in the "Europa, " a paper owned by a relative likewise
named Lewald. Subsequently were published anonymously: "Klementine, "
1842; "Jenny, " 1843; "Eine Lebensfrage, " 1845; "Das Arme M=C3=A4dchen=
, "
1845. In the spring of 1845 she made a tour of Italy, after which she
settled in Berlin, where she married (1854) Adolph Stahr, the literary
critic. In company with her husband she undertook a series of tours
through Europe, her mind storing a wealth of impressions which were
later to be called into requisition. Her literary productiveness during
the years following upon this extended tour knew no bounds. One book
followed another in quick succession, astonishing the reading public by
their variety of subject and fertility of resource. In all more than
fifty volumes can be accredited to a pen never idle. Fanny Lewald is
remarkable for her keen observation of men and manners, for the
firmness with which her characters are outlined, for the grace and
finish of her style; a harsh realism, however, pervades her works. This
tendency to realism prompts her to seek an ideal in the dispassionate
man of affairs, who according to her standpoint may be relied upon to
solve the problem of human existence. As a rule, this view precludes
the possibility of frequent excursions into the world of the
imagination, and except in rare cases is apt to stamp the work of the
writer as devoid of that poetic charm so essential to the highest
literary achievement. Her activity was not confined to literature. She
was one of Germany's foremost leaders in the movement for the

e
Concept of the Political. It quickly became one of the most influential
works of political philosophy published and remains a classic. In 1932,
a young student of political theory named Leo Strauss published a
critique of Concept and over the next two years, wrote several letters
to Schmitt questioning aspects of his argument. Schmitt never answered
Strauss's letters, but in his revision of the book, he changed a number
of passages in response to Strauss's criticisms without even
acknowledging them. In this volume, Heinrich Meier shows what this
remarkable "hidden dialogue" reveals about the development of these two
seminal thinkers. At the center of the dialogue, Meier argues, was the
mutual attempt to define exactly what politics is and how it relates to
the philosophical tradition and to modern society. Taking Hobbes's "war
of all against all" as his inspiration, Schmitt challenged contemporary
liberal society's unwillingness to admit that politics was literally "a
matter of life and death. " Meier's book insightfully reveals how
Strauss's critique forced Schmitt to see that the Hobbesian state was,
instead, the very foundation of the liberalism he so despised. =E2=80=

1692-1738 -- Fiction. Lehmann (1831-1890) was a =E2=80=9CGerman Orthodo=
x rabbi,
scholar, and writer. Lehmann was born in Verden, Germany, and studied
with Israel Hildesheimer in Halberstadt, with S. L. Rapoport in Prague,
and at Halle. In Prague he was friendly with the writer Solomon Kohn,
who may have influenced Lehmann's future work as a writer. In 1853 an
organ was introduced in the synagogue of Mainz and in 1854, when the
Orthodox members formed a separate congregation, Lehmann was elected
their rabbi and, eventually, one of the leaders and spokesmen of modern
German Orthodoxy. In Mainz he founded a religious school which from
1859 was an elementary day school for boys and girls. Lehmann wrote
polemically against Reform and founded the weekly Israelit to counter
the influence of Ludwig Philippson's Reform periodical, Allgemeine
Zeitung des Judentums; the Israelit became the principal voice of
German Orthodoxy. Lehmann was the main contributor to the Israelit and
his many historical novels, including Rabbi Joselmann von Rosheim, and
short stories were first published in it. His stories were collected in
Aus Vergangenheit und Gegenwart, and many were translated or adapted
into Hebrew, Judeo-Arabic, French, Hungarian, English, and other
languages. Lehmann's stories have no great literary merit, but as
juvenile literature, they have religious and educational value. Of more
scholarly importance, though also primarily intended for popular
instruction, are his German edition of the Haggadah, anonymously
revised and enlarged by H. Ehrmann and translated into English, and his
Sabbath lectures on Avot, collected as Die Sprueche der Vaeter in which
Lehmann made use of earlier commentators, particularly of Samuel b.
Isaac 's Midrash Shemu=E2=80=99el, and thus made the commentators acces=
sible to
the German reader. Lehmann also published the tractate Berakhot of the
Jerusalem Talmud with the commentary of Solomon Sirillo and his own
notes, Meir Nativ. Lehmann translated the Pentateuch in the Bible
translation initiated by the Orthodox Bible Institute to counter the
translation of Zunz and others. As editor of the Israelit, Lehmann

was a
=E2=80=9CGerman writer; born at Berlin June 19, 1771; died there March=
7, 1833.
Her home life was uncongenial, her father, a wealthy jeweler, being a
strong-willed man and ruling his family despotically. She was very
intimate with Dorothea and Henriette, daughters of Moses Mendelssohn.
Together with them she knew Henriette Herz, with whom she later became
most intimately associated, moving in the same intellectual sphere.
Rahel's home became the meeting-place of men like Schlegel, Schelling,
Steffens, Schack, Schleiermacher, Alexander and Wilhelm von Humboldt,
Lamotte-Fouqu=C3=A9, Baron Br=C3=BCckmann, Ludwig Tieck, Jean Paul Rich=
ter, and
F. Von Gentz. During a visit to Carlsbad in 1795 she was introduced to
Goethe, whom she again saw in 1815, at Frankfort-on-the-Main. After the
death of her father in 1806 she lived successively in Paris,
Frankfort-on-the-Main, Hamburg, Prague, and Dresden. This period was
one of misfortune for Germany; Prussia was reduced to a small kingdom
and her king was in exile. Secret societies were formed in every part
of the country with the object of throwing off the tyranny of Napoleon;
Rahel herself belonged to one of these societies. In 1814 she married,
in Berlin, Karl August Varnhagen von Ense (b. Feb. 21, 1785, at
D=C3=BCsseldorf; d. At Berlin Oct. 10, 1858) , after having been conver=
ted
to Christianity. At the time of their marriage, Varnhagen, who had
fought in the Austrian army against the French, belonged to the
Prussian diplomatic corps, and their house at Vienna became the
meeting-place of the Prussian delegates to the Vienna Congress. She
accompanied her husband in 1815 to Vienna, and in 1816 to Carlsruhe,
where he was Prussian representative. After 1819 she again lived in
Berlin, where Varnhagen had taken up his residence after having been
retired from his diplomatic position. Though not a productive writer
herself, Rahel was the center of a circle of eminent writers, scholars,
and artists in the Prussian capital. A few of her essays appeared in
print in "Das Morgenblatt, " "Das Schweizerische Museum, " and "Der
Gesellschafter, " and in 1830 her "Denkbl=C3=A4tter einer Berlinerin" w=
as
published in Berlin. Her correspondence with David Veit and with
Varnhagen von Ense was published in Leipsic, in 1861 and 1874-75
respectively. =E2=80=9D (1906 Jewish Encyclopedia) Ludmilla Assing was=
also a
=E2=80=9CGerman authoress; born in Hamburg Feb. 22, 1821; died March 25=
, 1880,
in Florence, Italy. She was the daughter of Dr. David Assing and Rosa
Maria Assing, sister of Varnhagen von Ense. After the death of her
parents she removed to Berlin to reside with her uncle Varnhagen. While
in his house she formed the acquaintance of several noted men and women
of that time, among whom were Alexander von Humboldt, Prince
P=C3=BCckler-Muskau, Bettina von Arnim, and many others. In 1861 she to=
ok up
her residence in Florence, where she passed the rest of her life. She
married a lieutenant of the Italian army, Cavaliere Grimelli, from whom
she was divorced two years later (1875) . Ludmilla founded in Florence
a public school, in which instruction in German was compulsory. Toward
the close of her life she became afflicted with brain trouble, from
which she never recovered, her death occurring in the insane asylum of
San Bonifazio, Florence. As a writer, Ludmilla Assing belonged to the
school of Varnhagen. Her literary activity was chiefly directed toward
biography. She translated from the Italian Mazzini's works (Hamburg,
1868, 2 vols. ) , and the works of Piero Cironi. She wrote also in
Italian. The posthumous works of her uncle were edited by her, and for
this she was sentenced, in 1863, to eight months', and again, in 1864,
to two years', imprisonment by the Prussian government for disrespect
to the king and queen, because the works of Varnhagen that were
published under her direction disclosed some scandals of the court. As
she was residing in Florence at that time, the intended punishment did
not affect her. She was pardoned, however, in 1866, but she preferred,
nevertheless, to remain in Italy. =E2=80=9D (1906 Jewish Encyclopedia)

interests were Spinoza, on whom he had written his dissertation (1892)
and a prizewinning Spinoza in Deutschland (1897) . On the occasion of
the international exhibition on hygiene in Dresden in 1911 he published
a book on that subject, Hygiene der Juden (1912) . He also edited a

Religious Community of Munich by Leo Baerwald and Ludwig Feuchtwanger.
Leo Baerwald was rabbi of the Munich Jewish community from 1918-1940.
Leo Baerwald was born in Saaz, Austria-Hungary (now =C5=BDatec, Czech
Republic) on October 23, 1883. The son of Aron Baerwald, the rabbi of
Saaz, and Fanny Lazarus, he was descended from a family of rabbis and
well-known Jewish scholars including Moritz Lazarus and Heymann
Steinthal. Baerwald studied at the J=C3=BCdisch-theologisches Seminar i=
n
Breslau (now Wroclaw, Poland) . After serving in World War I as a
military chaplain (Feldrabbiner) , he became a rabbi for the Jewish
community in Munich. He kept this position until his departure from
Germany. From 1933 on Baerwald struggled against the Nazi regime. He
was refused a travel permit to leave the country for health reasons. It
was in 1940 that he was finally able to leave Germany for England,
where he waited for a visa to the United States. After arriving in the
United States, Baerwald settled in New York City, where he became the
rabbi of the Congregation Beth Hillel in Washington Heights. This
congregation was made up of Jewish refugees from Munich and Nuremberg.
He retired from this position in 1955. After his retirement he
continued to support the congregation as well as becoming involved in
the work of the Leo Baeck Institute and the American Federation of Jews
from Central Europe. Leo Baerwald died in New York in 1970 at the age
of 86. Ludwig Feuchtwanger (1885-1947) was trained as a lawyer, but
worked as an author, journalist, and publisher. He was editor of the
publishing house Duncker & Humbolt and in the years 1936 to 1939
Feuchtwanger was also appointed director of the Jewish teaching house
in Munich and a lecturer at the Central Office for Adult Education
(Mittelstelle der juedischen Erwachsenenbildung) . In 1938, he was
imprisoned in Dachau concentration camp. Ludwig Feuchtwanger and his
family managed to emigrate to Winchester in England in 1939. He was a
lecturer at the "Jewish Historical Society of England" and died in
Winchester, Great Britain, on July 14, 1947. His papers are also housed
at the Leo Baeck Institute. Subjects: Jews -- Germany -- Munich.

Vienna
Geserah of 1421=E2=80=9D, written by Samuel Krauss, stands as one of th=
e finest
histories and documentation of literature on the Vienna Geserah, the
=E2=80=9Cpersecution of Jews in Vienna and its environs in 1421. The ea=
rly 15th
century was a period of rising hatred of the burghers of Vienna against
the Jews, kindled in part by Jewish wealth. The Hussite heresy had
widespread reverberations in Austria at the time, and it was generally
held that Jews and Hussites maintained close contact. Duke Albert V,
inclined to religious fanaticism and disturbed by the Hussite
rebellion, was also deeply in debt to Jewish moneylenders and without
the means of repayment. At Easter 1420 a rumor was spread among the
population of Vienna that a rich Jew named Israel had bought
consecrated hosts from the wife of a Church sexton in Enns, and
distributed them among other Jews who desecrated them. The Jews who
were implicated were brought to Vienna, imprisoned, and tortured. On
May 23, 1420, the Jews were rounded up in all the cities and towns of
Austria and their possessions taken from them. The wealthy were
imprisoned in Vienna, while the poor were put into boats without oars
on the Danube at the mercy of the stream. Some Jews were held captive
in houses, others in the synagogues. Children were separated from
parents and husbands from wives, and an attempt was made to convert
them to Christianity. The rabbis of Italy appealed to Pope Martin V for
his intervention on behalf of the Jews of Austria. He reacted by
threatening with excommunication anyone who forced Jews to convert.
Nonetheless, many of the children taken from their parents were carried
off to monasteries and there forcibly converted. A great many of those
imprisoned committed suicide, including those held in the synagogues;
the last one alive, R. Jonah, set fire to the corpses and died on the
funeral pyre. The Jews who were left, 120 women and 92 men, were burned
at the stake on March 12, 1421. All the property of the Jews passed to
Duke Albert. The stones of the synagogue were used in building the
university. Some Jews escaped to Bohemia; a very few managed to
maintain an illegal existence in Austria. The proud Vienna community
numbering between 1, 400 and 1, 600 existed no longer, and the city
became known in Jewish tradition as "Ir ha-Damim" ("The City of Blood")
. =E2=80=9D Samuel Krauss (February 18, 1866 - June 4, 1948) was profes=
sor at
the Jewish Teachers' Seminary, Budapest, 1894=E2=80=931906, and at the=

was the executive director of the Berlin Jewish community, and from
1905 a lecturer in religious community law at the Hochschule
(Lehranstalt) fuer die Wissenschaft des Judentums. He was the driving
force behind the formation of the Preussischer Landesverband Juedischer
Gemeinden (1922) . Freund strove to achieve a nationwide Reichsverband
Juedischer Gemeinden, but without success. He bitterly opposed the
separate organization of Orthodox congregations (Halberstaedter
Verband) . Freund emigrated to Palestine in 1938, taking with him his
valuable private archives, which he presented to the General Historical
Archives in Jerusalem. He wrote various works on German Jewish history,

the Jews in the 19th century. The Jewish encyclopedia lists a number of
interesting aspects to the Jewish population here, and lists the jewish
population in the kingdom as twelve thousand as of the 1900 census.
This volume contains over one hundred black and white photographs of
the earliest to the latest Jewish cemeteries, catacombs, and synagogues
throughout the Kingdom of Wurttemberg. Includes a register of places

I Mos. 45, 5.=E2=80=9D Georg Salzberger was rabbi to the Frankfurt Jewi=
sh
community from 1910 to 1939, and belonged to the Reform Movement. In
1910 he took up his first post as a rabbi in Frankfurt. The
construction of a new synagogue for liberal services in that year had
made it necessary to appoint a third liberal rabbi to the community.
Today this synagogue is known as the Westend Synagogue in
FreiherrvonStein Stra=C3=9Fe: it was the only synagogue in Frankfurt to
survive Kristallnacht, and is still in use. During the First World War
Salzberger was a voluntary military chaplain on the Western Front at
Verdun. He also worked as a rabbi and religious instructor at the
Philanthropin. After the seizure of power by the Nazis and the
departure of the other two liberal rabbis (Seligmann had retired, and
Lazarus had died) , Salzberger was the only working liberal community
rabbi in Nazi Frankfurt. Following Kristallnacht, he was arrested by
the Gestapo and imprisoned in Dachau concentration camp. In April 1939
he was allowed to leave Germany and emigrate to England. There he
became cofounder of the German-speaking Jewish community in London, and
remained their rabbi until 1957. Salzberger was accorded numerous
honours: in 1962 he received the Grand Cross for Services to the
Federal Republic, and in 1972 the Buber-Rosenzweig Medal. He died in
London in 1975. Some light soiling and closed tears to cover with some

Emergence of a Jewish Dialect". Mieses was a "Yiddish philologist. Born
in Galicia, he was a prolific writer in Hebrew, Polish, and German. His
main interest, however, was Yiddish, about which he wrote much,
although little in the language itself. His Hebrew articles in defense
of Yiddish against its detractors involved him in a controversy with
Nahum Sokolow . At the Czernowitz Yiddish Conference of 1908, he
created a sensation with his well-reasoned, scholarly espousal of
Yiddish. I. L. Peretz asked for the widest possible distribution of
Mieses' speech. In his German study on the origin of Yiddish, Die
Entstehungsursache der juedischen Dialekte (1915) , a pioneer work in
Yiddish philology, Mieses fought for the emancipation of the so-called
Jewish "jargon" and its recognition as a language on a par with other
European national languages. " (Liptzin, EJ, 2007) SUBJECT(S): Jews --

About Walter Baumgartner: =E2=80=9CFrom 1947, he was professor of Semit=
ic
languages at Basle. Baumgartner's position among biblical scholars and
orientalists is assured by the results of his work in the field of
Bible and Semitic philology. His important studies on the Aramaic
sections of the Bible include: Das Buch Daniel (1926) and the Aramaic
sections of L. Koehler and W. Baumgartner's Lexicon in Veteris
Testamenti Libros (1953, 1958, 1967 ff. ) . In his doctoral
dissertation, Die Klagegedichte des Jeremia... (1916) , he employed
critical methodology to prove that the monologues of Jeremiah were not
later additions but may be attributed to the prophet himself. =E2=80=9D=

=80=9CGerman
Protestant theologian, Bible and Judaica scholar. Inspired by Julius
Fuerst to devote himself to the study of Judaism, he was appointed
professor of theology at the university of his native Leipzig in 1844.
Later he taught at Rostock, Erlangen, and again in Leipzig. Though
Delitzsch was a devoted Christian and the most significant figure of
the Lutheran =E2=80=9CMission to the Jews, =E2=80=9D believing in the s=
upremacy of the
New Testament over the Old, he maintained an extraordinary
understanding of, and affection for, Judaism. Well versed in Hebrew and
in Semitic languages, as well as in the Talmud and in medieval Jewish
literature, Delitzsch was in close touch with the leading Jewish
scholars of his time. As a devout Christian, he proselytized among the
Jews, wrote several pamphlets for that purpose, and made a new
translation of the New Testament into Hebrew (1877, 190112; supposedly
with the assistance of A. H. Weiss) =E2=80=9D (Breuer in EJ 2007) . Bum=

nk (1868 =E2=80=93 1932)
was the pseudonym of Gustav Meyer, an Austrian author, storyteller,
dramatist, translator, and banker, most famous for his novel The Golem.
First published in serial form as Der Golem in 1913-14 in the
periodical Die weissen Bl=C3=A4tter, The Golem was published in book fo=
rm in
1915 by Kurt Wolff, Leipzig. The Golem was Meyrink's first novel. It
became his most popular and successful literary work, and is generally
described as the most "accessible" of his full-length novels. The novel
is rooted in Jewish legend about a Rabbi who made a living-being called
a golem (? ? ? ? ) out of clay and animated it with a Kabbalistic
spell, although these legends have little to do with the plotline. The
main character is Athanasius Pernath, a contemporary lapidary from
Prague. It is left to the reader to decide whether Pernath is simply
writing down his hallucinations or gradually turning into a real golem.

=E2=80=9CDanish
literary critic and writer. Brandes was born into an assimilated family
which had retained some nominal ties with the Copenhagen Jewish
community. Georg Brandes was one of Denmark's greatest writers and his
enormous influence on Danish culture and on European literature is
still apparent. He was also one of the outstanding representatives of
the greatness and tragedy of the assimilated European Jew. It is
significant that the Jewish figures whom he tried to understand and
describe were Heine , Boerne , Disraeli , and Lassalle. Although
Brandes created a new type of literary critic and was familiar with all
of the different national literary and political manifestations in
Europe, he himself was never really at home anywhere and his
relationship with Denmark was ambivalent. He was never really accepted
by the Danes and his ideas still provoke either enthusiasm or disgust.
Brandes denounced the progroms in Eastern Europe, but repudiated his
own Jewishness and disliked "Jewish" characteristics in others. He
defended Dreyfus, but did not take Herzl's Jewish State or the Zionist
movement very seriously, much to Herzl's dismay. After the Balfour
Declaration, Brandes recognized the reality of Zionism. He expressed
this change of view in an article entitled "Das neue Judentum" (1918) ,
which later appeared in a biographical study by Henri Nathansen. Here,
an intimate friend described the critic's struggle with his Jewish
identity. =E2=80=9D (2007 Encyclopedia Judaica) Hermann Struck (1876=E2=
=80=931944) ,
=E2=80=9Cgraphic artist. Struck, born into an Orthodox Berlin family, s=
tudied
at the Berlin Academy under Max Koner, where Hans Meyer introduced him
to the art of etching. Struck joined the Zionist movement at an early
age. In 1903, after several study trips throughout Europe, he visited
Palestine and, on his way back to Germany, stopped in Vienna and met
Herzl. This meeting inspired the famous portrait etching of the Zionist
leader. During World War I Struck served with the German army in
Lithuania. There he came in contact with East European Jews and was
deeply impressed by their way of life. Skizzen aus Litauen,
Weissrussland und Kurland (1916) and Das ostjuedische Antlitz (1920)
reflect this experience. In 1923 he moved to Palestine and settled in
Haifa. Struck's favorite technique was copper etching and its related
processes although he did lithographs as well. His early work, done in
pure etching, was usually signed with his Hebrew name, ? Ayyim Aharon
ben David. From 1902 he mixed etching with vernis mou and aquatint. A
master of his craft and an excellent teacher, Struck taught graphic
techniques to such fellow artists as Chagall, Liebermann, Israels, and
Corinth. His book Die Kunst des Radierens (19235) , a popular guidebook
for artists and connoisseurs, provides technical explanations and
practical instruction. Struck excelled as a portraitist. Among his
sitters were Ibsen, Nietzsche, Freud, and Einstein. He also did
landscapes, Jewish types and scenes from Jewish life as well as many ex
libris. Struck, who remained an Orthodox Jew, participated in Jewish
public life and attended several Zionist congresses as one of the
leaders of the Mizrachi Party. He was a member of the London Society of
Painters, Etchers and Engravers. =E2=80=9D (2007 Encyclopedia Judaica)

This volume constitutes an important documentation and description of
the work of Jewish graphic artist and illustrator with his bibliography
in the appendix. Ephraim Moses Lilien (1874=E2=80=931925) , =E2=80=9CAu=
strian
illustrator and printmaker. Lilien was born in Drohobycz, Galicia. He
studied art in Cracow for a short time, but lack of funds forced him to
return home. He eventually earned enough as a sign painter to go to the
Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. In 1895 he worked in Munich as a
cartoonist, where he obtained his first commission for the magazine
Jugend; three years later he moved to Berlin, where he soon became
known as a book illustrator. Lilien was the first artist to become
involved in the Zionist movement. He took an active part in three
consecutive Zionist Congresses and was a member of the Democratic
Fraction, which stressed the need to foster Jewish culture. In 1900
there was published Juda, a volume of ballads on Old Testament themes
by a pro-Zionist German poet, Boerries Freiherr von Muenchhausen,
illustrated by Lilien. This was followed by Lieder des Ghetto in which
social adversity and the rejection of poor Jews were reflected. In 1902
he was one of the founders of the Berlin publishing house, Juedischer
Verlag , which he served not only as an illustrator but also as editor,
manager, and publicity agent. Between 1908 and 1912 three volumes, of
its planned ten, illustrated books of the Bible appeared. He
collaborated closely with Theodor Herzl ; Lilien's photograph of the
Zionist leader on the Rhine bridge, his Herzl portraits, and his
decorations for the Golden Book of the Jewish National Fund became
familiar to Zionists all over the world. In 1905 Lilien, along with
Boris Schatz and others, was a member of the committee formed to
establish the Bezalel School of Art in Jerusalem. He taught there for
some months in the following year and revisited Palestine three times,
on the last occasion as a lieutenant in the Austro-Hungarian army
during World War I. In 1908 Lilien turned from book illustration to
etching. Many of his etchings are views of Austria and Hungary, while
others record his impressions of Palestine, Damascus, and Beirut. His
drawings, executed mainly in India ink, show a crisp, elegant line and
a strong contrast between black and white areas. Lilien combined
biblical and traditional Jewish themes with the motifs and methods of
Art Nouveau. His art expressed Jewish hopes and desires in the era of
Zionism that looked beyond the exile. =E2=80=9D (2007 Encyclopedia Juda=

Rebound in modern paper wrappers, 8vo. , 68 pages. First edition (? ) .
In German. On cover: "Ein Beitrag zur hebr=C3=A4isch-j=C3=BCdischen
Alterthumskunde". Title translates as "The Conditions of Slaves as
Represented in Ancient Hebrew, Biblical and Talmudic Sources." Given
the appearance of this work on the eve of the Civil War in the US, and
Mielziner's orientation toward America (to which he would soon
emigrate) this work must be seen as a clear reference to the ongoing
Slavery debates in the US raging at the time. A Rabbi and Professor,
Mielziner "was born and educated in Germany, where he began his
rabbinic career. He headed a Jewish school in Copenhagen, Denmark,
while earning his Ph. D. From the University of Giessen (1859) .
Immigrating to the United States, Mielziner served as a congregational
rabbi and educator in New York City until 1879, when Isaac Mayer Wise
appointed him professor of Talmud at Hebrew Union College in
Cincinnati. Upon Wise's death, Mielziner was chosen interim president
of the seminary, a position he held for three years, from 1900 until
his death. Mielziner was a charter member of the Central Conference of
American Rabbis (CCAR) , and his scholarly input on relevant subjects
had an important influence on early discussions of CCAR policy. He
published several treatises on Jewish law - including a volume on
halakhah and divorce and marriage, as well as an overview of rabbinic
civil and criminal law - but is best known for his classic work
Introduction to the Talmud, published originally in 1894 and reissued
three times since; the most recent edition, which appeared in 1968,
contains an updated bibliography compiled by Alexander Guttmann .
Mielziner's exposition of talmudic methodology - featuring a skillful
dissection of the Talmud's distinctive system of technical terms and
phrases adapted to its unique methods of investigation and
demonstration - has been an indispensable handbook for the serious
student of the Talmud for more than a century. " (Gordon, EJ, 2007)

STIGMAS
AND ECSTASY: AN ESSAY ADDRESSED TO JEWS AND CHRISTIANS OF EVERY
DENOMINATION. New York: Hickey. , 1879. Cloth. , 8vo. 55 pages.
Catholic tract aimed at converting Jews and Protestants, published
during the Rohling-Bloch Affair. Rohling, (1839-1931) , was an
"antisemitic polemicist. A fanatical ultramontanist priest from the
Rhineland, Rohling published in 1871 his Der Talmudjude (based on J. A.
Eisenmenger 's Entdecktes Judenthum) , a collection of deliberately
corrupted quotations, imaginary statements, and forgeries against the
Talmud. The book appeared in successive editions and became very
popular. When Franz Holubek, a leader of the Viennese artisan movement,
was sued for inciting a crowd against the Jews (April 4, 1882) , he
pleaded not guilty, claiming that he had obtained his information in
good faith from the books of Rohling, a full professor at the German
University of Prague. Rohling's academic appointments were obtained
through the intercession of high Church dignitaries. Holubek's
acquittal was a victory for the growing political antisemitism. Rohling
and his works acquired further notoriety through the Tiszaeszlar blood
libel affair, when Rohling volunteered to testify that Jews required
Christian blood for their ceremonies. After Franz Delitzsch , the
renowned Protestant Orientalist, had revealed Rohling's ignorance and
baseness, Rohling accused Delitzsch of being a Jew and then castigated
Adolf Jellinek and Moritz Guedemann as cunning knaves for denying
Holubek's charges. Rohling's challenger was Joseph Samuel Bloch who,
after repeated sorties against him, published a series of articles in
July 1883 under the title, "An Offer to Commit Perjury, " in which he
branded Rohling a liar and perjurer. Forced by public opinion to sue
Bloch for libel, Rohling enlisted the aid of two antisemites, Brimanus
(a Romanian-Jewish renegade who had taught Rohling Hebrew and was
author of the scurrilous Der Judenspiegel under the pseudonym "Justus")
and Ecker (a convicted forger, priest, and professor at an obscure
seminary in Paderborn) . Neither could attend the trial. Bloch
recruited the respected Orientalists Theodor Noeldeke and Karl August
Wuensche, who completely demolished all Rohling's academic pretenses.
Even Paul Lagarde condemned Rohling's works. In 1885, shortly before
the trial was due to open, Rohling withdrew his suit after Bloch had
collected an immense amount of material against him. He paid the costs
of the trial, lost his academic chair, and left the public scene,
nevertheless continuing to publish antisemitic tracts. Rohling's
Talmudjude was translated into several European languages; E. Drumont
wrote the introduction to the French edition. The work continued to be
published for more than 50 years, and served as a source for Nazi
antisemitic doctrines" (EJ, 2007) . SUBJECT(S): Lateau, Louise,

(Wissenschaft des Judentums ) . Born in Detmold, Germany, the child of
talmud scholar Immanuel Menachem Zunz and Hendel Behrens, daughter of
Dov Beer. Zunz devoted his life to the outline and development of the
Wissenschaft des Judentums. According to the modern
historical-philological school of F. A. Wolf and A. Boeckh, he intended
an exploration of all post-biblical rabbinical or, as he called it,
Jewish literature. But instead of modern classical studies
(Wissenschaft des Altertums) , which treated ancient cultures as
completely past, he pursued a substantial interest in the nature of
Judaism. In addition to parallels to the modern classics, Zunz
participated in the contemporary philosophical discourse about the
progress of world history and mankind =E2=80=93 most influentially expr=

the Jewish Historical General Archives. Includes source documents and
frontispiece portrait of Heinrich Graetz. Heinrich Graetz (1817 -1891)
was amongst the first historians to write a comprehensive history of
the Jewish people from a Jewish perspective. Born Tzvi Hirsh Graetz to
a butcher family in Xions (Ksiaz Wielkopolski) , Poznan, in Prussia
(now in Poland) , he obtained his doctorate from the University of Jena
though he had attended Breslau University because Jews at the time were
barred from receiving Ph. D. S at that institution. After 1845 he was
principal of the Jewish Orthodox school of the Breslau community, and
later taught history at the Jewish Theological Seminary in Breslau (now
Wroclaw, Poland) . His magnum opus =E2=80=9CHistory of the Jews=E2=80=
=9D was quickly
translated into other languages and ignited worldwide interest in
Jewish history. In 1869 the University of Breslau granted him the title
of Honorary Professor; in 1888 he was appointed an Honorary Member of
the Spanish Royal Academy of Sciences. Subjects: Graetz, Heinrich,

aspects of contemporary German-Jewish history. His major work was his
participation, in collaboration with his friend Hermann Vogelstein, in
a massive work on the history of the Jews in Rome (Geschichte der Juden
in Rom) , as the result of a prize competition sponsored by the Moritz
Rapoport Foundation in Vienna in 1890. Rieger wrote the entire second

some parts of the first volume (1896) . Notwithstanding the somewhat

Planck and his contributions as president of the German Physics
Society; an exposition by Max von Laue (1879-1960) on Planck=E2=80=99s=

of Thermodynamics; an essay by Arnold Sommerfeld (1868-1951) on the
Quantam discovery; an essay by Albert Einstein (1879-1955) on Motives
of Research in Physics; and a reply to the presentations by Max Planck
(1879-1960) . The Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft (German Physics
Society) was established in 1868 to allow unfettered discussion of
theoretical physics and research amongst interested participants. Max
Planck was a recurring president of the Society since 1905, and in the
year this celebration was held, Albert Einstein was acting as president
of the society. All of the contributors to this volume were at any
given point acting presidents of the society. The German Physics
Society is still around to this day, and openly celebrates the
pronounced opposition of certain of its members to nazism, such as Max
Von Laue in his 1933 convention address denouncing the Nazi=E2=80=99s
persecution of present day Galileo=E2=80=99s. Von Laue was also instrum=

reestablishing the DPG in 1946, after the war. Subjects: Physics.

plight of the emancipated and assimilated Western Jew, who had lost his
contact with his fellow-Jews and faced political and social

Memorial Lecture; 46) Elisheva Carlebach is Professor of History at
Queens College and the Graduate Center, CUNY. On December 3, 2002, she
gave the 46th Leo Baeck Memorial Lecture at the Leo Baeck Institute New
York. The author examines what it meant for a Jew to convert to
Christianity in early modern Europe. She focuses on Germany, where it
generally meant profound unease and discomfort. The status of Jews who
converted, who retained elements of their Jewishness while not accepted
as true Christians, resulted in a figure that was often considered, at
least from the Christian perspective, a counterfeit human being. The
collective historical influence of the converts was complex and
enduring since they did not simply disappear within the majority.
Rather, they became the first German Jews to experience the
consequences of a dual identity, and the first to demonstrate that
leaving Judaism for Christianity was never a simple transformation.
Christians accepted them as baptized but not truly converted. Elisheva
Carlebach describes the dilemma of identity and the sense of alienation
and which are a persistent theme in the history of conversions out of
Judaism.SUBJECT (S): Jews -- Germany -- History -- 18th century.

Based largely on autobiographical material, it covers such matters as
attitudes to Judaism, relations at different levels with Gentiles and
with other Jews, marriage patterns, the public role, political culture,
cultural activities, and patronage. The major underlying theme is the
conflict between preservation of the Jewish identity, and integration

called to Berlin, where from 1888 he also lectured on homiletics at the
Hochschule fuer die Wissenschaft des Judentums. In 1903 he was
appointed professor. Active in the association of rabbis in Germany, in
1897 Maybaum was among those rabbis who protested against the idea of
convening the Zionist Congress in Germany. His works include Die
Anthropomorphien und Anthropopathien bei Onkelos und den spaeteren
Targumim, Die Entwicklung des alt-israelitischen Priestertums, Die
Entwicklung des israelitischen Prophetentums, and Juedische Homiletik.

Salomon Munk (1803-1867) ; French Orientalist, philologist,
archaeologist, and philosopher; he studied under Jacob Joseph
Oettinger, E. Gans, Hegel, Freytag, Lassen; a friend of Leopold Zunz,
E. W. Zumpt, Goethe, Michael Beer; a tutor of Gustave and Alphonse de

devoted himself to the study of the Jud=C3=A6o-Arabic literature of the
Middle Ages and to the works of Maimonides, more especially the
latter's "Moreh Nebukim. " He went direct to the Arabic original,
supplementing the texts he found at the Biblioth=C3=A8que from texts he=
had
copied at Oxford. At the same time he made a thorough study of
Aristotle, who is constantly quoted by Maimonides. In this way he
gathered the necessary material for his edition of the Arabic text of
the "Moreh, " with translation and annotations, which he published in
three large volumes, long after he had become blind (1856, 1861, 1866)

the Sanskrit and Hebrew manuscripts in the possession of the library.=

(1895=E2=80=931903) and Vienna (1905=E2=80=9335) . He settled in Jerusa=
lem in 1938.
Grunwald was a many-sided and productive scholar. He wrote on the
history of the communities which he served. =E2=80=A6Grunwald's main in=
terest,
however, was Jewish folklore, and his contribution in this field is of
lasting importance. In 1897 he founded the Gesellschaft fuer juedische
Volkskunde and edited and largely wrote its organ, the Mitteillungen
(1897=E2=80=931922) , which was succeeded by the Jahrbuecher fuer juedi=
sche
Volkskunde (1923=E2=80=9325) . In this area he contributed also to othe=
r
periodicals as well as to a number of Festschriften and published
important studies such as Hebraeische Frauennamen (1894=E2=80=93 ) , Ei=
gennamen
des alten Testaments (1895) , and in the related field of Jewish art
Holzsynagogen in Polen (with others, 1934) . Among Grunwald's other
interests were Spinoza, on whom he had written his dissertation (1892)
and a prizewinning Spinoza in Deutschland (1897) . On the occasion of
the international exhibition on hygiene in Dresden in 1911 he published
a book on that subject, Hygiene der Juden (1912) . He also edited a
German prayer book for women and one for serving soldiers (Gebetbuch
fuer israelitische Soldaten im Kriege, 1914) . On the occasion of
Grunwald's 70th birthday Omanut, the publication of the Bezalel Museum
in Jerusalem, issued his bibliography (1941) . =E2=80=9D (2007 Encyclop=

was one of the most resolute exponents of religious liberalism in
Germany. His contributions to Jewish scholarship covered both
philosophy and history. In philosophy he published Die Erkenntnislehre
Philos von Alexandrien (1891): in history, Ausder Heimat Moses
Mendelssohns (1900) ; Die Familie Gomperz (in collaboration with D.
Kaufmann, 1907) ; Die israelitische Kultusgemeinde Nuernberg, 1874=E2=

the Kulturbund Deutscher Juden from the Wiener Library in Tel-Aviv:
=E2=80=9CThe Kulturbund Deutscher Juden was an organisation engaged in
promoting culture and the arts among the Jews of Germany between 1933
and 1941. Its purposes were to enable the Jewish population to maintain
a cultural life and to alleviate the distress of the thousands of
Jewish theatrical artists and musicians who had been thrown out of
their jobs when the Nazis came to power. The instigators were Kurt
Baumann, a theatre director and Kurt Singer, a neurologist. The
self-help organisation, which was funded by members' contributions,
sought, in the first instance, to create work opportunities for the
unemployed artists. The original title 'Kulturbund Deutscher Juden' had
to soon be changed as a name containing the words 'German' and 'Jewish'
was politically unacceptable. After the initial foundation in Berlin,
numerous branches emerged in other German towns and cities. By 1935
there were 36 regional and local 'Kulturb=C3=BCnde' (unions) with
approximately 70, 000 members. The individual branches were forced to
affiliate to the 'Reichsverband j=C3=BCdischer Kulturb=C3=BCnde in Deut=
schland'
(Reich Assembly of Jewish cultural unions, RJK) by August 1935. The RJK
was placed under the aegis of the 'Reichsministerium f=C3=BCr
Volksaufkl=C3=A4rung und Propaganda' (the Reich Ministry of Propaganda)=
.
The performances of these unions, which were censored and monitored by
the Gestapo, had to be individually sanctioned by the
'Reichskulturwalter' (Reich Culture Chamber manager) , Hans Hinkel. In
order to facilitate the activities of the unions the RJK instituted
self-censorship. In July 1937 there were 120 independent organisations,
including synagogues and cultural groups united under the umbrella of
the RJK. Performances and events of the unions (above all in Berlin)
took place on a daily basis. Between 1933-1935 the main venue was the
Berliner Theater. The Hamburger Kulturbund was also very active. The
programme included theatre and and opera performances, concerts, art,
cabaret, film shows, lectures, and exhibitions. In order to ensure
cultural segregation, non Jews could neither perform at nor attend
these events. The works of German authors and composers could not be
performed. After the November pogrom of 1938 most unions were forced to
close. Only the Berlin Kulturbund was given the permission by Joseph
Goebbels, for propaganda reasons, to remain active. In 1939 the RJK was
wound up and in its place the 'J=C3=BCdische Kulturbund in Deutschland=
e. V.
', formed of the remnants of the Berlin Kulturbund, took responsibility
for and organised all Jewish cultural performances thereafter. The
emigration of many important Jewish artists had a detrimental effect on
the quality and quantity of subsequent events. The union was finally
closed down on 11 September 1941 by the Gestapo and many of its members
and officials, including the founder, Kurt Singer, were deported and
murdered. =E2=80=9D The beginning of the project was initiated by Bauma=

1837 by Dr. Ludwig Philippson (1811-89) ; published first in Leipsic
and later in Berlin. At the time of its foundation there had been
several Jewish journals in existence: "Sulamith, " "Jedidja, " Geiger's
"Wissenschaftliche Zeitschrift f=C3=BCr J=C3=BCdische Theologie, " and=
Dr.
H=C3=B6ninghaus' "Universal-Kirchenzeitung, " which admitted Jewish
contributors. Philippson felt that these did not satisfy the needs of
the times. He determined to found a journal for the intelligent
laity=E2=80=94one that should not only advance the knowledge of the Jew=
s' past
history, but should also plead the cause of the Jews of his day. The
first number of his paper appeared May 2, 1837, and was published by
Baumg=C3=A4rtner in Leipsic with the subtitle "Unparteiisches Organ f=
=C3=BCr
Alles J=C3=BCdische Interesse in Betreff von Politik, Religion, Literat=
ur,
Geschichte, Sprachkunde, und Belletristik" During the first two years
three numbers a week appeared; and for a year and a half a supplement
was published three times a month, devoted to literature and
homiletics. In 1839 the journal became a weekly. The "Allgemeine
Zeitung" has never received a subsidy from any Jewish body. In 1848,
when the publication of nearly all other Jewish journals was
interrupted, the "Allgemeine Zeitung" braved the storm and spoke out
plainly in the political turmoil. From the outset the "Allgemeine
Zeitung" met with success. A few weeks after the issue of its first
number a society of students in Leyden (Holland) was formed to aid its
circulation. Even in Poland it obtained several hundred subscribers;
and within three months after the appearance of the first number
Philippson felt justly confident of its material success. The journal
aroused great enthusiasm in the cultured Jewish circles of Germany,
Austria, and Holland, and exercised considerable influence on Judaism
in general=E2=80=94more especially in Germany, where it became a distin=
ct
factor in the evolution of Judaism. To its influence is due in a large
measure the establishment of a rabbinical seminary (Lehranstalt f=C3=BC=
r die
Wissenschaft des Judenthums in Berlin) and of a Jewish Publication
Society (Institut zur F=C3=B6rderung der Israelitischen Literatur) , as=
well
as the calling together of a Jewish synod (Leipsic, 1869) .
Philippson's chief aim was the civil emancipation of the Jews. He
carried on the fight for that cause begun by Gabriel Riesser and
others. But the paper gained further importance in connection with the
inner communal and religious life of the Jews, since it devoted
attention to the organization of religious instruction, to the form of
worship in the synagogue, and to the cultivation of Jewish learning in
all its branches. Jost, who in his "Neuere Geschichte der Israeliten"
(iii. 149-156) , devoted a whole chapter to the "Allgemeine Zeitung, "
said "that it became epoch-making in Jewish history by attempting for
the first time to give a general view of the life and conditions of the
Jews. " (From the Encyclopedia Judaica 1906 entry) . The newspaper
ceased in 1922. Subjects: Jews - Periodicals. Judaism - Periodicals.

=2E SÄCHS. HANDELSTADT LEIPZIGK KAUF- UND HANDELS-RECHT. [Leipzig]; Ch=
ristolph Günther, 1683. Boards bound with Latin missal with musical n=
otation. 16mo. (4) , 132, 4 pages. Only edition. In German. A compendium o=
f regulations of the City of Leipzig. Of special interest are the edicts c=
oncerning Jews: "Leipziger Juden-Ordnung de anno 1682." The rela=
tionship between this city in Saxony and the Jews is an anomaly. On the on=
e hand, Jews were banished from Saxony in 1430 - (it took three centuries=
for them to be readmitted to Leipzig) . On the other hand, on account of=
the seasonal Leipzig Fair, the number of Jewish merchants present in the=
City would swell to the point that these visitors were formally authorize=
d to conduct gatherings in their own prayer-rooms ("Judenschulen"=
;) . Indeed, permitted to attend the Fair were not only German Jews, but J=
ews of Eastern Europe as well. In the present text, Johann-Georg III, Duke=
of Saxony, mandates several laws concerning Jewish tradesmen and the natu=
re of Jewish participation in the Fair. In order to attend, the Jew requir=
ed attestation to his professional honesty ("ein Ehrlicher Handelsman=
n") (par. 1) ; he was forbidden to lodge in the suburbs (par. 2) ; an=
d at all times, he must be in possession of his various individual passes=
(pars. 3-6) . Also, legal-clauses are addressed to the wives, children an=
d servants of the Jewish tradesmen visiting (pars.10-12) . Of peculiar not=
e: Jewish musicians were barred from trading altogether (par. 21) . See JE=
, Vol. VII, pp. 673-4. Subjects: German Law. Books before 1700. OCLC lists=
14 copies worldwide. Backstrip detached. Binding very solid. Paper missal=
over boards torn in places and foxed. All edges lightly bumped. Pages lig=
htly foxed around text throughout, fresh and clean otherwise. Good conditi=

in, he fruitlessly hoped that Jewish studies would be taught in universiti=
es as a regular academic discipline, and that he'd be able to do the t=
eaching. He believed that Jewish literature and learning was part of the b=
roader scope of human affairs, including the sciences, and should not be s=
hut up merely in discussions of religious matters. For his seventieth birt=
hday, a foundation was set up to fund Zunz's and other similar scholar=
ship. He continued to work until 1874, when his wife's death left him=
seriously depressed. (Glatzer, EJ) Ex library. Rebound. Edges tanning, go=

established secular scientist. He was an important librarian at the Bodle=
ian Library in London as well as that of the Royal Library in Berlin. &ldq=
uo;It is a characteristic feature of Steinschneider's vast literary ac=
tivity that he chose fields far removed from that of theology proper, e. G=
=2E , mathematics, philology, natural history, and medicine, endeavoring t?=
Ereby to display the part which the Jews had taken in the general history=
of civilization ("Kulturgeschichte") . Thus while Zunz had laid=
the foundations of Jewish science, Steinschneider completed many essentia=
l parts of the structure. He was the first to give a systematic survey of=
Jewish literature down to the end of the eighteenth century, and was the=
first also to publish catalogues of the Hebrew books and manuscripts whic=
h are found in the great public libraries of Europe. The gigantic Bodleian=
catalogue laid the foundation of his reputation as the greatest Jewish bi=
bliographer. This and the catalogues of the libraries of Leyden, Munich, H=
amburg, and Berlin, as well as the twenty-one volumes of his "Hebr&au=

he main editor, Jacob Klatzkin (1882–1948) , was an “author, p=
hilosopher, and Zionist. The son of Elijah Klatzkin , a prominent rabbinic=
al scholar, who gave him a thorough education in all branches of tradition=
al Jewish studies. At the age of 18, Klatzkin went to Germany, first to Fr=
ankfurt on the Main and then to Marburg, where he studied philosophy under=
Hermann Cohen . He received his doctorate from the University of Berne in=
1912. In the following years Klatzkin was active in Germany as a writer f=
or Hebrew periodicals, including Ha-Zeman, Ha-Shilo'a? , and Ha-Tekufa=
h, and as editor of Die Welt , the organ of the Zionist Organization (1909=
–11) , and later in Heidelberg, of the Freie Zionistische Blaetter.=
From 1912 to 1915 he was director of the Jewish National Fund in Cologne.=
From 1915 to 1919 he edited the Swiss Bulletin Juif, which covered world=
events of special relevance to Jews during World War I and established th=
e publishing firm Al ha-Mishmar, which issued a series of books on Jewish=
problems in French and German. In Berlin Klatzkin founded another publish=
ing house, Eshkol, and continued writing for the Jewish press. In 1924 he=
and his lifelong friend Nahum Goldmann initiated the Encyclopaedia Judaic=
a, of which ten volumes (to the article "Lyra") appeared between=
1928 and 1934. Two volumes of a parallel Hebrew edition, En? Iklopedyah Y=
isre'elit, were issued in 1929–32. Klatzkin acted as editor in c=
hief in cooperation with leading Jewish scholars. Although the advent of H=
itler prevented the publication of the remaining volumes, what was publish=
ed continues to be an important reference work. After the curtailment of t=
he publication of the encyclopedia, Klatzkin took refuge first in Switzerl=
and and then in the U. S. , where he lectured at the College of Jewish Stu=
dies in Chicago. In 1947, after a further period in New York, he returned=
to Switzerland. ” (From the 2007 Encyclopaedia Judaica) Subjects: J=

rarely - on the major contemporary events of his day and for a while was=

trait of Berthold Auerbach. Title translates as: “Berthold Auerbach:=
Letters to his friend Jacob Auerbach: a biographical memorial. ” &l=
dquo;The inner life of Berthold Auerbach is abundantly illustrated by his=
works; but it receives its fullest light and interpretation in his "=
Briefe an Seinen Vetter, Jacob Auerbach, " issued by the latter (in a=
ccordance with the author's request) in 1884, with a preface by Spielh=
agen. These letters extend over a period of 52 years (1830-82) , and conta=
in in Auerbach's own words "all that was most important in the de=
velopment of his general and individual life. " They form a mirror, i=
n which his every mood is reflected, and wherein his genuine nature is dep=
icted with an artlessness and naturalness typical of the man. They form th=
e best commentary upon his philosophy, politics, and religion; and through=
out them all, two points are constantly expressed; viz. , love for the Bla=
ck Forest and enthusiasm for Israel. ” “Among Jakob Auerbach&#=
39;s contributions to Jewish history and literature are his essay on "=
;Lessing and Mendelssohn, " 1867, and a "History of the Jewish C=
ommunity of Vienna from 1784." His most valuable work, however, was t=
he publication of the letters received by him from Berthold Auerbach, cove=
ring the period from the time of the separation of the two friends at Carl=
sruhe in April, 1830, to the death of the novelist, Feb. 8, 1883. These le=
tters, which appeared in two volumes under the title "Berthold Auerba=
ch: Briefe an Seinen Freund Jacob Auerbach, " Frankfort-on-the-Main,=
1884, and in which the whole character and individuality of Berthold Auer=

nteenth year she entered the Evangelical Church. In 1831, in company with=
her father, she made a tour through Germany and France, prolonging her st=
ay in Breslau and Berlin. In 1834, to while away the hours of an invalid s=
ister, she wrote a book of fairy-stories. It was not, however, until 1841=
that she entered the literary arena with a novel entitled "Der Stell=
vertreter, " published in serial form in the "Europa, " a p=
aper owned by a relative likewise named Lewald. Subsequently were publishe=
d anonymously: "Klementine, " 1842; "Jenny, " 1843; &q=
uot;Eine Lebensfrage, " 1845; "Das Arme Mädchen, " 184=
5. In the spring of 1845 she made a tour of Italy, after which she settled=
in Berlin, where she married (1854) Adolph Stahr, the literary critic. In=
company with her husband she undertook a series of tours through Europe,=
her mind storing a wealth of impressions which were later to be called in=
to requisition. Her literary productiveness during the years following upo=
n this extended tour knew no bounds. One book followed another in quick su=
ccession, astonishing the reading public by their variety of subject and f=
ertility of resource. In all more than fifty volumes can be accredited to=
a pen never idle. Fanny Lewald is remarkable for her keen observation of=
men and manners, for the firmness with which her characters are outlined,=
for the grace and finish of her style; a harsh realism, however, pervades=
her works. This tendency to realism prompts her to seek an ideal in the d=
ispassionate man of affairs, who according to her standpoint may be relied=
upon to solve the problem of human existence. As a rule, this view preclu=
des the possibility of frequent excursions into the world of the imaginati=
on, and except in rare cases is apt to stamp the work of the writer as dev=
oid of that poetic charm so essential to the highest literary achievement.=
Her activity was not confined to literature. She was one of Germany's=
foremost leaders in the movement for the emancipation and advancement of=
women, favoring the opening to them of new fields of employment. ”(=

ldquo;In 1928, German philosopher Carl Schmitt published The Concept of th=
e Political. It quickly became one of the most influential works of politi=
cal philosophy published and remains a classic. In 1932, a young student o=
f political theory named Leo Strauss published a critique of Concept and o=
ver the next two years, wrote several letters to Schmitt questioning aspec=
ts of his argument. Schmitt never answered Strauss's letters, but in h=
is revision of the book, he changed a number of passages in response to St=
rauss's criticisms without even acknowledging them. In this volume, He=
inrich Meier shows what this remarkable "hidden dialogue" reveal=
s about the development of these two seminal thinkers. At the center of th=
e dialogue, Meier argues, was the mutual attempt to define exactly what po=
litics is and how it relates to the philosophical tradition and to modern=
society. Taking Hobbes's "war of all against all" as his in=
spiration, Schmitt challenged contemporary liberal society's unwilling=
ness to admit that politics was literally "a matter of life and death=

h S. L. Rapoport in Prague, and at Halle. In Prague he was friendly with t=
he writer Solomon Kohn, who may have influenced Lehmann's future work=
as a writer. In 1853 an organ was introduced in the synagogue of Mainz an=
d in 1854, when the Orthodox members formed a separate congregation, Lehma=
nn was elected their rabbi and, eventually, one of the leaders and spokesm=
en of modern German Orthodoxy. In Mainz he founded a religious school whic=
h from 1859 was an elementary day school for boys and girls. Lehmann wrote=
polemically against Reform and founded the weekly Israelit to counter the=
influence of Ludwig Philippson's Reform periodical, Allgemeine Zeitun=
g des Judentums; the Israelit became the principal voice of German Orthodo=
xy. Lehmann was the main contributor to the Israelit and his many historic=
al novels, including Rabbi Joselmann von Rosheim, and short stories were f=
irst published in it. His stories were collected in Aus Vergangenheit und=
Gegenwart, and many were translated or adapted into Hebrew, Judeo-Arabic,=
French, Hungarian, English, and other languages. Lehmann's stories ha=
ve no great literary merit, but as juvenile literature, they have religiou=
s and educational value. Of more scholarly importance, though also primari=
ly intended for popular instruction, are his German edition of the Haggada=
h, anonymously revised and enlarged by H. Ehrmann and translated into Engl=
ish, and his Sabbath lectures on Avot, collected as Die Sprueche der Vaete=
r in which Lehmann made use of earlier commentators, particularly of Samue=

ccessible to the German reader. Lehmann also published the tractate Berakh=
ot of the Jerusalem Talmud with the commentary of Solomon Sirillo and his=

Between Rahel and David Veit: From the Estate of Varnhagen Von Ense. &rdq=
uo; Rahel Varnhagen was a “German writer; born at Berlin June 19, 17=
71; died there March 7, 1833. Her home life was uncongenial, her father, a=
wealthy jeweler, being a strong-willed man and ruling his family despotic=
ally. She was very intimate with Dorothea and Henriette, daughters of Mose=
s Mendelssohn. Together with them she knew Henriette Herz, with whom she l=
ater became most intimately associated, moving in the same intellectual sp=
here. Rahel's home became the meeting-place of men like Schlegel, Sche=
lling, Steffens, Schack, Schleiermacher, Alexander and Wilhelm von Humbold=
t, Lamotte-Fouqué, Baron Brückmann, Ludwig Tieck, Jean Paul Ri=
chter, and F. Von Gentz. During a visit to Carlsbad in 1795 she was introd=
uced to Goethe, whom she again saw in 1815, at Frankfort-on-the-Main. Afte=
r the death of her father in 1806 she lived successively in Paris, Frankfo=
rt-on-the-Main, Hamburg, Prague, and Dresden. This period was one of misfo=
rtune for Germany; Prussia was reduced to a small kingdom and her king was=
in exile. Secret societies were formed in every part of the country with=
the object of throwing off the tyranny of Napoleon; Rahel herself belonge=
d to one of these societies. In 1814 she married, in Berlin, Karl August V=
arnhagen von Ense (b. Feb. 21, 1785, at Düsseldorf; d. At Berlin Oct.=
10, 1858) , after having been converted to Christianity. At the time of t=
heir marriage, Varnhagen, who had fought in the Austrian army against the=
French, belonged to the Prussian diplomatic corps, and their house at Vie=
nna became the meeting-place of the Prussian delegates to the Vienna Congr=
ess. She accompanied her husband in 1815 to Vienna, and in 1816 to Carlsru=
he, where he was Prussian representative. After 1819 she again lived in Be=
rlin, where Varnhagen had taken up his residence after having been retired=
from his diplomatic position. Though not a productive writer herself, Rah=
el was the center of a circle of eminent writers, scholars, and artists in=
the Prussian capital. A few of her essays appeared in print in "Das=
Morgenblatt, " "Das Schweizerische Museum, " and "Der=
Gesellschafter, " and in 1830 her "Denkblätter einer Berli=
nerin" was published in Berlin. Her correspondence with David Veit an=
d with Varnhagen von Ense was published in Leipsic, in 1861 and 1874-75 re=
spectively. ” (1906 Jewish Encyclopedia) Ludmilla Assing was also a=
“German authoress; born in Hamburg Feb. 22, 1821; died March 25, 18=
80, in Florence, Italy. She was the daughter of Dr. David Assing and Rosa=
Maria Assing, sister of Varnhagen von Ense. After the death of her parent=
s she removed to Berlin to reside with her uncle Varnhagen. While in his h=
ouse she formed the acquaintance of several noted men and women of that ti=
me, among whom were Alexander von Humboldt, Prince Pückler-Muskau, Be=
ttina von Arnim, and many others. In 1861 she took up her residence in Flo=
rence, where she passed the rest of her life. She married a lieutenant of=
the Italian army, Cavaliere Grimelli, from whom she was divorced two year=
s later (1875) . Ludmilla founded in Florence a public school, in which in=
struction in German was compulsory. Toward the close of her life she becam=
e afflicted with brain trouble, from which she never recovered, her death=
occurring in the insane asylum of San Bonifazio, Florence. As a writer, L=
udmilla Assing belonged to the school of Varnhagen. Her literary activity=
was chiefly directed toward biography. She translated from the Italian Ma=
zzini's works (Hamburg, 1868, 2 vols. ) , and the works of Piero Ciron=
i. She wrote also in Italian. The posthumous works of her uncle were edite=
d by her, and for this she was sentenced, in 1863, to eight months', a=
nd again, in 1864, to two years', imprisonment by the Prussian governm=
ent for disrespect to the king and queen, because the works of Varnhagen t=
hat were published under her direction disclosed some scandals of the cour=
t. As she was residing in Florence at that time, the intended punishment d=

This specific issue of the journal solely contains Grunwald’s famou=

“In 1811, Hamburg being incorporated in the French empire, the Jews=
of that town were forced by an order of Napoleon to withdraw from the con=
gregation of the Three Communities, and to form of the three Hamburg congr=
egations a new community. The constitution of this new community was estab=
lished in the following year. At the same time the old restrictions were a=
bolished, and full equality before the law was given to the Hamburg Jews,=
as to all the Jews in the French empire. ” (1906 Jewish Encyclopedi=
a) The Bulletin was established to publish the innovative work of Jewish f=
olklorists working at the Hamburg Jewish Museum; it’s publishing run=
was from 1898 to 1929, though the publication name of the journal changed=
in 1923 and again in 1926, to that of “Mitteilungen zur jüdisc=
hen Volkskunde” and “Jahrbuch für jüdische Volkskund=
e” respectively. Max Grunwald (1871–1953) , “editor of &=
quot;Mittheilungen der Gesellschaft für Jüdische Volkskunde, &qu=
ot; which society was founded by him in 1897 and of which he is president=
(1903) . ” (1906 Jewish Encyclopedia) Grunwald was a “rabbi,=
historian, and folklorist. Born at Hindenburg (now Zabrze, Silesia) , Gru=
nwald served as rabbi in Hamburg (1895–1903) and Vienna (1905–=
35) . He settled in Jerusalem in 1938. Grunwald was a many-sided and produ=
ctive scholar. He wrote on the history of the communities which he served.=
…Grunwald's main interest, however, was Jewish folklore, and h=
is contribution in this field is of lasting importance. In 1897 he founded=
the Gesellschaft fuer juedische Volkskunde and edited and largely wrote i=

Jahrbuecher fuer juedische Volkskunde (1923–25) . In this area he c=

dash; ) , Eigennamen des alten Testaments (1895) , and in the related fiel=
d of Jewish art Holzsynagogen in Polen (with others, 1934) . Among Grunwal=
d's other interests were Spinoza, on whom he had written his dissertat=

of Aron Baerwald, the rabbi of Saaz, and Fanny Lazarus, he was descended=
from a family of rabbis and well-known Jewish scholars including Moritz L=
azarus and Heymann Steinthal. Baerwald studied at the Jüdisch-theolog=

ar I as a military chaplain (Feldrabbiner) , he became a rabbi for the Jew=
ish community in Munich. He kept this position until his departure from Ge=

Hebrew. Cloth and decorative paper boards, with original paper wrapper ti=
tle pastedown. “The Vienna Geserah of 1421”, written by Samuel=
Krauss, stands as one of the finest histories and documentation of litera=
ture on the Vienna Geserah, the “persecution of Jews in Vienna and i=
ts environs in 1421. The early 15th century was a period of rising hatred=
of the burghers of Vienna against the Jews, kindled in part by Jewish wea=
lth. The Hussite heresy had widespread reverberations in Austria at the ti=
me, and it was generally held that Jews and Hussites maintained close cont=
act. Duke Albert V, inclined to religious fanaticism and disturbed by the=
Hussite rebellion, was also deeply in debt to Jewish moneylenders and wit=
hout the means of repayment. At Easter 1420 a rumor was spread among the p=
opulation of Vienna that a rich Jew named Israel had bought consecrated ho=
sts from the wife of a Church sexton in Enns, and distributed them among o=
ther Jews who desecrated them. The Jews who were implicated were brought t=
o Vienna, imprisoned, and tortured. On May 23, 1420, the Jews were rounded=
up in all the cities and towns of Austria and their possessions taken fro=
m them. The wealthy were imprisoned in Vienna, while the poor were put int=
o boats without oars on the Danube at the mercy of the stream. Some Jews w=
ere held captive in houses, others in the synagogues. Children were separa=
ted from parents and husbands from wives, and an attempt was made to conve=
rt them to Christianity. The rabbis of Italy appealed to Pope Martin V for=
his intervention on behalf of the Jews of Austria. He reacted by threaten=
ing with excommunication anyone who forced Jews to convert. Nonetheless, m=
any of the children taken from their parents were carried off to monasteri=
es and there forcibly converted. A great many of those imprisoned committe=
d suicide, including those held in the synagogues; the last one alive, R.=
Jonah, set fire to the corpses and died on the funeral pyre. The Jews who=
were left, 120 women and 92 men, were burned at the stake on March 12, 14=
21. All the property of the Jews passed to Duke Albert. The stones of the=
synagogue were used in building the university. Some Jews escaped to Bohe=
mia; a very few managed to maintain an illegal existence in Austria. The p=
roud Vienna community numbering between 1, 400 and 1, 600 existed no longe=
r, and the city became known in Jewish tradition as "Ir ha-Damim"=
; ("The City of Blood") . ” Samuel Krauss (February 18, 18=
66 - June 4, 1948) was professor at the Jewish Teachers' Seminary, Bud=
apest, 1894–1906, and at the Jewish Theological Seminary, Vienna, 19=

quo; In 1910, he became a pioneer in Talmudic archaeology with the publica=

; Georg Salzberger was rabbi to the Frankfurt Jewish community from 1910 t=
o 1939, and belonged to the Reform Movement. In 1910 he took up his first=
post as a rabbi in Frankfurt. The construction of a new synagogue for lib=
eral services in that year had made it necessary to appoint a third libera=
l rabbi to the community. Today this synagogue is known as the Westend Syn=
agogue in FreiherrvonStein Straße: it was the only synagogue in Fran=
kfurt to survive Kristallnacht, and is still in use. During the First Worl=
d War Salzberger was a voluntary military chaplain on the Western Front at=
Verdun. He also worked as a rabbi and religious instructor at the Philant=
hropin. After the seizure of power by the Nazis and the departure of the o=
ther two liberal rabbis (Seligmann had retired, and Lazarus had died) , Sa=
lzberger was the only working liberal community rabbi in Nazi Frankfurt. F=
ollowing Kristallnacht, he was arrested by the Gestapo and imprisoned in D=
achau concentration camp. In April 1939 he was allowed to leave Germany an=
d emigrate to England. There he became cofounder of the German-speaking Je=
wish community in London, and remained their rabbi until 1957. Salzberger=
was accorded numerous honours: in 1962 he received the Grand Cross for Se=
rvices to the Federal Republic, and in 1972 the Buber-Rosenzweig Medal. He=

Hermann Struck and four black and white plates, including a facsimile let=
ter written by Heinrich Heine. Georg Brandes, (Morris Cohen; 1842–19=
27) , “Danish literary critic and writer. Brandes was born into an a=
ssimilated family which had retained some nominal ties with the Copenhagen=
Jewish community. Georg Brandes was one of Denmark's greatest writers=
and his enormous influence on Danish culture and on European literature i=
s still apparent. He was also one of the outstanding representatives of th=
e greatness and tragedy of the assimilated European Jew. It is significant=
that the Jewish figures whom he tried to understand and describe were Hei=
ne , Boerne , Disraeli , and Lassalle. Although Brandes created a new type=
of literary critic and was familiar with all of the different national li=
terary and political manifestations in Europe, he himself was never really=
at home anywhere and his relationship with Denmark was ambivalent. He was=
never really accepted by the Danes and his ideas still provoke either ent=
husiasm or disgust. Brandes denounced the progroms in Eastern Europe, but=
repudiated his own Jewishness and disliked "Jewish" characteris=
tics in others. He defended Dreyfus, but did not take Herzl's Jewish S=
tate or the Zionist movement very seriously, much to Herzl's dismay. A=
fter the Balfour Declaration, Brandes recognized the reality of Zionism. H=
e expressed this change of view in an article entitled "Das neue Jude=
ntum" (1918) , which later appeared in a biographical study by Henri=
Nathansen. Here, an intimate friend described the critic's struggle w=
ith his Jewish identity. ” (2007 Encyclopedia Judaica) Hermann Struc=
k (1876–1944) , “graphic artist. Struck, born into an Orthodox=
Berlin family, studied at the Berlin Academy under Max Koner, where Hans=
Meyer introduced him to the art of etching. Struck joined the Zionist mov=
ement at an early age. In 1903, after several study trips throughout Europ=
e, he visited Palestine and, on his way back to Germany, stopped in Vienna=
and met Herzl. This meeting inspired the famous portrait etching of the Z=
ionist leader. During World War I Struck served with the German army in Li=
thuania. There he came in contact with East European Jews and was deeply i=
mpressed by their way of life. Skizzen aus Litauen, Weissrussland und Kurl=
and (1916) and Das ostjuedische Antlitz (1920) reflect this experience. In=
1923 he moved to Palestine and settled in Haifa. Struck's favorite te=
chnique was copper etching and its related processes although he did litho=
graphs as well. His early work, done in pure etching, was usually signed w=
ith his Hebrew name, ? Ayyim Aharon ben David. From 1902 he mixed etching=
with vernis mou and aquatint. A master of his craft and an excellent teac=
her, Struck taught graphic techniques to such fellow artists as Chagall, L=
iebermann, Israels, and Corinth. His book Die Kunst des Radierens (19235)=
, a popular guidebook for artists and connoisseurs, provides technical ex=
planations and practical instruction. Struck excelled as a portraitist. Am=
ong his sitters were Ibsen, Nietzsche, Freud, and Einstein. He also did la=
ndscapes, Jewish types and scenes from Jewish life as well as many ex libr=
is. Struck, who remained an Orthodox Jew, participated in Jewish public li=
fe and attended several Zionist congresses as one of the leaders of the Mi=
zrachi Party. He was a member of the London Society of Painters, Etchers a=

slates as: “E. M. Lilies, Artistic Development from Beginning of the=
Century. ” This volume constitutes an important documentation and d=
escription of the work of Jewish graphic artist and illustrator with his b=
ibliography in the appendix. Ephraim Moses Lilien (1874–1925) , &ldq=
uo;Austrian illustrator and printmaker. Lilien was born in Drohobycz, Gali=
cia. He studied art in Cracow for a short time, but lack of funds forced h=
im to return home. He eventually earned enough as a sign painter to go to=
the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. In 1895 he worked in Munich as a cart=
oonist, where he obtained his first commission for the magazine Jugend; th=
ree years later he moved to Berlin, where he soon became known as a book i=
llustrator. Lilien was the first artist to become involved in the Zionist=
movement. He took an active part in three consecutive Zionist Congresses=
and was a member of the Democratic Fraction, which stressed the need to f=
oster Jewish culture. In 1900 there was published Juda, a volume of ballad=
s on Old Testament themes by a pro-Zionist German poet, Boerries Freiherr=
von Muenchhausen, illustrated by Lilien. This was followed by Lieder des=
Ghetto in which social adversity and the rejection of poor Jews were refl=
ected. In 1902 he was one of the founders of the Berlin publishing house,=
Juedischer Verlag , which he served not only as an illustrator but also a=
s editor, manager, and publicity agent. Between 1908 and 1912 three volume=
s, of its planned ten, illustrated books of the Bible appeared. He collabo=
rated closely with Theodor Herzl ; Lilien's photograph of the Zionist=
leader on the Rhine bridge, his Herzl portraits, and his decorations for=
the Golden Book of the Jewish National Fund became familiar to Zionists a=
ll over the world. In 1905 Lilien, along with Boris Schatz and others, was=
a member of the committee formed to establish the Bezalel School of Art i=
n Jerusalem. He taught there for some months in the following year and rev=
isited Palestine three times, on the last occasion as a lieutenant in the=
Austro-Hungarian army during World War I. In 1908 Lilien turned from book=
illustration to etching. Many of his etchings are views of Austria and Hu=
ngary, while others record his impressions of Palestine, Damascus, and Bei=
rut. His drawings, executed mainly in India ink, show a crisp, elegant lin=
e and a strong contrast between black and white areas. Lilien combined bib=
lical and traditional Jewish themes with the motifs and methods of Art Nou=
veau. His art expressed Jewish hopes and desires in the era of Zionism tha=
t looked beyond the exile. ” (2007 Encyclopedia Judaica) Subjects: J=

;The Conditions of Slaves as Represented in Ancient Hebrew, Biblical and T=
almudic Sources." Given the appearance of this work on the eve of the=
Civil War in the US, and Mielziner's orientation toward America (to w=
hich he would soon emigrate) this work must be seen as a clear reference t=
o the ongoing Slavery debates in the US raging at the time. A Rabbi and Pr=
ofessor, Mielziner "was born and educated in Germany, where he began=
his rabbinic career. He headed a Jewish school in Copenhagen, Denmark, wh=
ile earning his Ph. D. From the University of Giessen (1859) . Immigrating=
to the United States, Mielziner served as a congregational rabbi and educ=
ator in New York City until 1879, when Isaac Mayer Wise appointed him prof=
essor of Talmud at Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati. Upon Wise's dea=
th, Mielziner was chosen interim president of the seminary, a position he=
held for three years, from 1900 until his death. Mielziner was a charter=
member of the Central Conference of American Rabbis (CCAR) , and his scho=
larly input on relevant subjects had an important influence on early discu=
ssions of CCAR policy. He published several treatises on Jewish law - incl=
uding a volume on halakhah and divorce and marriage, as well as an overvie=
w of rabbinic civil and criminal law - but is best known for his classic w=

EWS AND CHRISTIANS OF EVERY DENOMINATION. New York: Hickey. , 1879. Cloth.=
, 8vo. 55 pages. Catholic tract aimed at converting Jews and Protestants,=
published during the Rohling-Bloch Affair. Rohling, (1839-1931) , was an=
"antisemitic polemicist. A fanatical ultramontanist priest from the=
Rhineland, Rohling published in 1871 his Der Talmudjude (based on J. A. E=
isenmenger 's Entdecktes Judenthum) , a collection of deliberately cor=
rupted quotations, imaginary statements, and forgeries against the Talmud.=
The book appeared in successive editions and became very popular. When Fr=
anz Holubek, a leader of the Viennese artisan movement, was sued for incit=
ing a crowd against the Jews (April 4, 1882) , he pleaded not guilty, clai=
ming that he had obtained his information in good faith from the books of=
Rohling, a full professor at the German University of Prague. Rohling'=
;s academic appointments were obtained through the intercession of high Ch=
urch dignitaries. Holubek's acquittal was a victory for the growing po=
litical antisemitism. Rohling and his works acquired further notoriety thr=
ough the Tiszaeszlar blood libel affair, when Rohling volunteered to testi=
fy that Jews required Christian blood for their ceremonies. After Franz De=
litzsch , the renowned Protestant Orientalist, had revealed Rohling's=
ignorance and baseness, Rohling accused Delitzsch of being a Jew and then=
castigated Adolf Jellinek and Moritz Guedemann as cunning knaves for deny=
ing Holubek's charges. Rohling's challenger was Joseph Samuel Bloc=
h who, after repeated sorties against him, published a series of articles=
in July 1883 under the title, "An Offer to Commit Perjury, " in=
which he branded Rohling a liar and perjurer. Forced by public opinion to=
sue Bloch for libel, Rohling enlisted the aid of two antisemites, Brimanu=
s (a Romanian-Jewish renegade who had taught Rohling Hebrew and was author=
of the scurrilous Der Judenspiegel under the pseudonym "Justus"=
) and Ecker (a convicted forger, priest, and professor at an obscure semin=
ary in Paderborn) . Neither could attend the trial. Bloch recruited the re=
spected Orientalists Theodor Noeldeke and Karl August Wuensche, who comple=
tely demolished all Rohling's academic pretenses. Even Paul Lagarde co=
ndemned Rohling's works. In 1885, shortly before the trial was due to=
open, Rohling withdrew his suit after Bloch had collected an immense amou=
nt of material against him. He paid the costs of the trial, lost his acade=
mic chair, and left the public scene, nevertheless continuing to publish a=
ntisemitic tracts. Rohling's Talmudjude was translated into several Eu=
ropean languages; E. Drumont wrote the introduction to the French edition.=
The work continued to be published for more than 50 years, and served as=
a source for Nazi antisemitic doctrines" (EJ, 2007) . SUBJECT(S): La=

h treated ancient cultures as completely past, he pursued a substantial in=

assics, Zunz participated in the contemporary philosophical discourse abou=
t the progress of world history and mankind – most influentially exp=
ressed by Johann Gottfried Herder and Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel . For=
him, the historical, cultural and religious achievements of the “He=

fessor of History at Queens College and the Graduate Center, CUNY. On Dece=
mber 3, 2002, she gave the 46th Leo Baeck Memorial Lecture at the Leo Baec=
k Institute New York. The author examines what it meant for a Jew to conve=
rt to Christianity in early modern Europe. She focuses on Germany, where i=
t generally meant profound unease and discomfort. The status of Jews who c=
onverted, who retained elements of their Jewishness while not accepted as=
true Christians, resulted in a figure that was often considered, at least=
from the Christian perspective, a counterfeit human being. The collective=
historical influence of the converts was complex and enduring since they=
did not simply disappear within the majority. Rather, they became the fir=
st German Jews to experience the consequences of a dual identity, and the=
first to demonstrate that leaving Judaism for Christianity was never a si=
mple transformation. Christians accepted them as baptized but not truly co=
nverted. Elisheva Carlebach describes the dilemma of identity and the sens=
e of alienation and which are a persistent theme in the history of convers=
ions out of Judaism.SUBJECT (S): Jews -- Germany -- History -- 18th centur=

attitudes to Judaism, relations at different levels with Gentiles and wit=

est, however, was Jewish folklore, and his contribution in this field is o=

ndash;1922) , which was succeeded by the Jahrbuecher fuer juedische Volksk=

such as Hebraeische Frauennamen (1894– ) , Eigennamen des alten Tes=
taments (1895) , and in the related field of Jewish art Holzsynagogen in P=

za, on whom he had written his dissertation (1892) and a prizewinning Spin=
oza in Deutschland (1897) . On the occasion of the international exhibitio=
n on hygiene in Dresden in 1911 he published a book on that subject, Hygie=

e for serving soldiers (Gebetbuch fuer israelitische Soldaten im Kriege, 1=

the Wiener Library in Tel-Aviv: “The Kulturbund Deutscher Juden was=
an organisation engaged in promoting culture and the arts among the Jews=
of Germany between 1933 and 1941. Its purposes were to enable the Jewish=
population to maintain a cultural life and to alleviate the distress of t=
he thousands of Jewish theatrical artists and musicians who had been throw=
n out of their jobs when the Nazis came to power. The instigators were Kur=
t Baumann, a theatre director and Kurt Singer, a neurologist. The self-hel=
p organisation, which was funded by members' contributions, sought, in=
the first instance, to create work opportunities for the unemployed artis=
ts. The original title 'Kulturbund Deutscher Juden' had to soon be=
changed as a name containing the words 'German' and 'Jewish&#=
39; was politically unacceptable. After the initial foundation in Berlin,=
numerous branches emerged in other German towns and cities. By 1935 there=
were 36 regional and local 'Kulturbünde' (unions) with appro=
ximately 70, 000 members. The individual branches were forced to affiliate=
to the 'Reichsverband jüdischer Kulturbünde in Deutschland&=
#39; (Reich Assembly of Jewish cultural unions, RJK) by August 1935. The R=
JK was placed under the aegis of the 'Reichsministerium für Volks=
aufklärung und Propaganda' (the Reich Ministry of Propaganda) . T=
he performances of these unions, which were censored and monitored by the=
Gestapo, had to be individually sanctioned by the 'Reichskulturwalter=
' (Reich Culture Chamber manager) , Hans Hinkel. In order to facilitat=
e the activities of the unions the RJK instituted self-censorship. In July=
1937 there were 120 independent organisations, including synagogues and c=
ultural groups united under the umbrella of the RJK. Performances and even=
ts of the unions (above all in Berlin) took place on a daily basis. Betwee=
n 1933-1935 the main venue was the Berliner Theater. The Hamburger Kulturb=
und was also very active. The programme included theatre and and opera per=
formances, concerts, art, cabaret, film shows, lectures, and exhibitions.=
In order to ensure cultural segregation, non Jews could neither perform a=
t nor attend these events. The works of German authors and composers could=
not be performed. After the November pogrom of 1938 most unions were forc=
ed to close. Only the Berlin Kulturbund was given the permission by Joseph=
Goebbels, for propaganda reasons, to remain active. In 1939 the RJK was w=
ound up and in its place the 'Jüdische Kulturbund in Deutschland=
e. V. ', formed of the remnants of the Berlin Kulturbund, took respon=
sibility for and organised all Jewish cultural performances thereafter. Th=
e emigration of many important Jewish artists had a detrimental effect on=
the quality and quantity of subsequent events. The union was finally clos=
ed down on 11 September 1941 by the Gestapo and many of its members and of=
ficials, including the founder, Kurt Singer, were deported and murdered. &=

ph Rosenstock, and journalist Werner Levie. Subjects: Actors-Performers. A=

52 weekly issues for year VI, 1842, of the publication. Contains index an=
d title page. “A German journal devoted to Jewish interests; founded=
in 1837 by Dr. Ludwig Philippson (1811-89) ; published first in Leipsic a=
nd later in Berlin. At the time of its foundation there had been several J=
ewish journals in existence: "Sulamith, " "Jedidja, "=
Geiger's "Wissenschaftliche Zeitschrift für Jüdische T=
heologie, " and Dr. Höninghaus' "Universal-Kirchenzeitu=
ng, " which admitted Jewish contributors. Philippson felt that these=
did not satisfy the needs of the times. He determined to found a journal=
for the intelligent laity—one that should not only advance the know=
ledge of the Jews' past history, but should also plead the cause of th=
e Jews of his day. The first number of his paper appeared May 2, 1837, and=
was published by Baumgärtner in Leipsic with the subtitle "Unpa=
rteiisches Organ für Alles Jüdische Interesse in Betreff von Pol=
itik, Religion, Literatur, Geschichte, Sprachkunde, und Belletristik"=
During the first two years three numbers a week appeared; and for a year=
and a half a supplement was published three times a month, devoted to lit=
erature and homiletics. In 1839 the journal became a weekly. The "All=
gemeine Zeitung" has never received a subsidy from any Jewish body. I=
n 1848, when the publication of nearly all other Jewish journals was inter=
rupted, the "Allgemeine Zeitung" braved the storm and spoke out=
plainly in the political turmoil. From the outset the "Allgemeine Ze=
itung" met with success. A few weeks after the issue of its first num=
ber a society of students in Leyden (Holland) was formed to aid its circul=
ation. Even in Poland it obtained several hundred subscribers; and within=
three months after the appearance of the first number Philippson felt jus=
tly confident of its material success. The journal aroused great enthusias=
m in the cultured Jewish circles of Germany, Austria, and Holland, and exe=
rcised considerable influence on Judaism in general—more especially=
in Germany, where it became a distinct factor in the evolution of Judaism=
=2E To its influence is due in a large measure the establishment of a rabbin=
ical seminary (Lehranstalt für die Wissenschaft des Judenthums in Ber=
lin) and of a Jewish Publication Society (Institut zur Förderung der=
Israelitischen Literatur) , as well as the calling together of a Jewish s=
ynod (Leipsic, 1869) . Philippson's chief aim was the civil emancipati=
on of the Jews. He carried on the fight for that cause begun by Gabriel Ri=
esser and others. But the paper gained further importance in connection wi=
th the inner communal and religious life of the Jews, since it devoted att=
ention to the organization of religious instruction, to the form of worshi=
p in the synagogue, and to the cultivation of Jewish learning in all its b=
ranches. Jost, who in his "Neuere Geschichte der Israeliten" (ii=
i. 149-156) , devoted a whole chapter to the "Allgemeine Zeitung, &qu=
