More DescriptionIn the 16th century Christian and Jewish people lived side by side in the territory of the Habsburg emperors. Like their Christian neighbours Jews were aware of the theological disputes and the political upheavals of the Reformation period. This book examines these, the Jewish perspective and interpretations of this time. It displays for example how Martin Luther or Charles V. were received in Jewish- Ashkenazi chronicles. The voices of Josel of Rosheim, a contemporary of Martin Luther, Zemach David, the World chronicle from the chronist David Gans from Prague and another chronicle from Prague from an unknown author, will be heard. The interpretations reflect the situation of the different Jewish communities. Rummel proves that the Reformation period is interpreted very plural.
