R. Juspa, Shammash of Warmaisa (Worms)

Jewish Life in 17th Century Worms

By:

Shlomo Eidelberg

Through the writings of Juspa Shammash: Minhagim de K.K. (The Custom Book of Warmaisa); Ma'ase Nissim (The Book of Wonder Stories), and the Pinkas Hakehila (The Ledger of Commercial Contracts), Professor Eidelberg develops an historical overview of the Worms community of the seventeenth-century Germany. The three texts combine to offer readers the insights of Juspa, the sexton and chronicler of this community in the Rhine Valley. Professor Eidelberg relates not only history but also religious and secular legislation enacted in the ancient community. Together with explications of customs and folklore, the author cites tales of the city which portray Juspas's vibrant literary talents.
