Protokollbuch der jdischen Gemeinde Fulda, 1731-1786

The protocol books of Jewish communities, known in Hebrew as Pinkassim, are among the most insightful sources of Jewish history. The Pinkas of the Fulda community is not only a critical source edition but also a textbook for dealing with Jewish sources in Hebrew and Yiddish at an advanced level. It serves as a significant example of the concrete manifestation of Jewish semi-autonomy in the hierarchical group society of the pre-emancipation era and provides a unique insight into Jewish life in Fulda during the 18th century.
